Editing Randolph County, Missouri (section)

==History==
Randolph County was primarily settled by migrants from the [[Upper South]]ern states, especially [[Kentucky]] and [[Tennessee]]. They brought [[slaves]] and slaveholding traditions with them, and quickly started cultivating crops similar to those in [[Middle Tennessee]] and Kentucky: hemp and tobacco. Randolph was one of several counties settled mostly by Southerners to the north and south of the [[Missouri River]]. Given their culture and traditions, this area became known as [[Little Dixie (Missouri)|Little Dixie]], and Randolph County was at its heart.<ref>[http://www.missouridivision-scv.org/littledixie.htm The Story of Little Dixie, Missouri, Missouri Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717050109/http://www.missouridivision-scv.org/littledixie.htm |date=July 17, 2012 }}, accessed June 3, 2008</ref>
