As it stands, Mississippi is represented in the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C.  by two statues depicting Former President of the Confederate States of America Jefferson Davis and Confederate Colonel James Zachariah George making Mississippi one of two U.S. states with two Confederate statues in National Statuary Hall.
