Isma Forman, section 5, signed the memorial to the United States House and Senate in an attempt to have the Mississippi Territory restored to it's former status "first grade of government". A previous petition signed by only a handfull of settlers advanced MS to the "second stage of government" which involves a legislature. The election was a mess. This second memorial signed by most of the residents was read in both houses of Congress and ignored.
