New Orleans in the American Civil War
New Orleans, Louisiana, was the largest city in the South, providing military supplies and thousands of troops for the Confederate States Army. Its location near the mouth of the Mississippi made it a prime target for the Union, both for controlling the huge waterway and crippling the Confederacy’s vital cotton exports. The prompt surrender of the city had saved it from serious damage, so it remains notably well-preserved today.
