This document provides a history of Natchez, Mississippi told from the perspective of a tour guide. It summarizes that the author was drawn to Natchez due to its historic aura and buildings. Natchez became prosperous due to its location on the Mississippi River for trade and its fertile lands for cotton agriculture, leading to the construction of many grand homes in the 1800s. The town's historic architecture was preserved through the efforts of the local garden club who began the historic home pilgrimage tours in the 1920s to raise money for preservation.
Why Natchez became and remains a living museumJohnSaleeby1
A town with 120 National Register of Historic Places sites, 3 National Park sites, 13 National Historic Landmarks, 5 National Historic Districts, and more than 300 pre Civil War and 200 Victorian era buildings (all most all restored and well maintained) and we’re the terminus of the Natchez Trace a Historic National Parkway.
Introduction and development of slavery in the thirteen american coloniesPaulo Arieu
The introduction of slavery began in the American colonies in 1619 when a Dutch trader sold 20 African slaves to settlers in Jamestown, Virginia. Slavery expanded greatly over the following centuries as the plantation economy grew in the Southern colonies, fueled by the demand for cotton and other crops. By the late 1700s, over half a million slaves lived in the colonies, mostly in the South. Abolitionist movements gained traction in the late 1700s and early 1800s, but the Constitution did not ban slavery and it continued to be legally institutionalized across the South.
The Historic and Majestic Basilica of Notre-Dame in Montreal, Quebec, CanadaFergus Ducharme
The historic and majestic Basilica of Notre-Dame in Montreal. One of the oldest and perhaps the most beautiful church in the entire country. It may not be the largest church you have visited but it is clearly awe inspiring. It is truly a sight to behold and definitely not to be missed when visiting Montreal.
1) The French originally tried settling close to Spain but were wiped out, forcing them to settle in the safer northern latitudes of North America. The fur trade became crucial to sustaining the French colonies.
2) The French allied with some Native American tribes but made enemies of the Iroquois Confederacy, leading to frequent raids that disrupted French fur trading.
3) Disease and violence escalated in the mid-17th century as the Iroquois launched genocidal attacks, destroying French colonies and other Native villages to replenish their own declining population. The French colonies struggled to be profitable and yielded little return for the investment.
The document summarizes the history of French colonization in North America between the 1500s-1700s. It discusses the French fur trade with indigenous peoples, the establishment of Quebec in 1608, conflicts with the Iroquois Confederacy, the spread of Catholic Jesuit missionaries, and the founding of Louisiana in the late 1600s-early 1700s. It portrayed the French colonial empire as relying heavily on alliances with native groups but also generating conflicts through trade imbalances and military assistance that disrupted existing power structures.
This preliminary feasibility study examines creating a National Slave Ship Museum in New Orleans. It received funding from the National Park Service. The museum would recreate the slave trade experience, preserve stories of slaves who passed through New Orleans, and serve an educational purpose. It would be located at the former Entergy power station and include a replica slave ship exhibit on the river. The study evaluates the historical background, proposed concept, education programs, site, market, and financial feasibility. An additional $350,000 is needed for a final feasibility study.
The document summarizes the development of French colonial empires in North America, focusing on New France and Louisiana. It describes how the French fur trade with indigenous peoples like the Huron led to the establishment of settlements like Quebec and Montreal. It also discusses the alliances and tensions between the French and groups like the Iroquois, as well as the introduction of African slaves to Louisiana plantations. Religious conversion efforts by Jesuit missionaries are outlined.
Hernando Cortes was born in 1485 in Medellin, Spain and led an expedition to Mexico starting in March 1519. In November 1519, Cortes and his men reached the Aztec capital and met with Montezuma, who may have thought Cortes was a god-king. Cortes explored many places including Honduras before returning to Spain in 1539, where he spent the rest of his life until dying near Seville in 1547.

The document discusses the French presence in North America, focusing on Canada and the fur trade. It describes the two main Native American groups, the Algonquian and Iroquoian, and how the French initially allied with the Algonquian. It also discusses the growth of the fur trade between Europeans and Natives, the increasing conflicts between the Iroquois and other tribes, and the role of Jesuit missionaries in New France. Over time, disease and warfare devastated many Native populations like the Huron, though the fur trade continued to be important to the French colonization efforts in places like Canada, Louisiana, and the Mississippi Valley.
The document summarizes the early history of French colonization in North America, including their settlements in Canada and Louisiana between the 16th-18th centuries. It discusses how the French established the fur trade with indigenous peoples and explored the Mississippi River valley. However, the colonies struggled financially and failed to establish profitable export industries. Most early French colonists in Canada were poor, single men who arrived as indentured servants or soldiers.
The document summarizes the establishment and development of French colonial empires in Canada and Louisiana between the 16th and 18th centuries.

Key events included the French allying with Algonquians and Hurons against the Iroquois, competition with the Dutch fur trade, growth of the upper country population, and maintaining alliances being critical to containing British colonial expansion.
The two documents summarize the political, economic, and social impacts of the slave trade on three West African kingdoms - Benin, Kongo, and Asante - from the 15th to 19th centuries. Initially, the slave trade increased the power of rulers by providing guns and wealth, but over time it led to civil wars, corruption, and the decline and fall of the kingdoms as European influence grew and the slave trade disrupted traditional power structures.
1. The French established fur trading relationships with northern Algonquian tribes in order to acquire necessities for survival in North America.
2. Trade was important to both the French and native peoples - the French traded goods like guns and textiles, while the natives provided furs and food.
3. The lucrative fur trade helped the French establish prosperous colonies in Canada and advance relationships with tribes like the Iroquois through trade alliances.
The Incas created a vast empire in South America that stretched along the Andes mountains from modern-day Colombia to central Chile. They built extraordinary cities like Machu Picchu out of massive stone blocks without the use of mortar. The Incas also constructed an extensive road network and developed a complex society with its own religion, language, and social hierarchy. However, the Spanish conquest in the 1530s led to the destruction of the Inca Empire and its integration into the Spanish colonial system.
The document discusses the history of slavery in various colonies during the 18th century. It provides details on:
1) The British colonies importing 1.5 million slaves primarily to work plantations growing commodities like sugar, tobacco, and rice.
2) Slavery conditions varying by region, with northern slaves more likely to be urban and living in cities like Boston and New York.
3) The stories of individuals like Thomas Peters who was kidnapped and sold into slavery, Joseph Rachell who was born into slavery but later freed, and Francesca who was an indigenous slave from South America.
- Cortés led an expedition from Spain's Caribbean colonies to the Aztec-ruled Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, establishing a colony on the coast.
- As Cortés marched inland to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, he encountered other indigenous groups and employed a strategy of allying with them against the Aztecs.
- Emperor Moctezuma initially allowed the Spanish to enter Tenochtitlan but they soon placed him under house arrest. After clashes between the Aztecs and Spanish, the city was destroyed following an 80-day siege, replacing the Aztec empire with a Spanish colony.
The document summarizes sections from "The Jesuit Relations" about the Jesuit missionary work in New France (Canada) in the 1600s-1700s. It describes the indigenous peoples like the Iroquois and Algonquians, the founding of Jesuit missions, the spread of disease, tensions and wars over land between indigenous groups and European settlers, writings about the natural environment, and explorations like Jacques Marquette's voyage down the Mississippi River. Disease wiped out much of the indigenous population. Conflict increased as European settlers colonized more indigenous lands for agriculture.
Biiographies about some important Kings from the Metal Ages in the Iberian Pe...Pilar Quiros
Gargoris was a mythical king of Tartessos who invented beekeeping. He had an incestuous relationship with his daughter and tried to kill their son Habis when he was born. Habis survived multiple attempts on his life and later became king. Habis invented the plow and established Tartessian laws and society. Arganthonius was a later Tartessian king who ruled for 80 years and lived to 120 years old, supporting Greek allies with silver. Hamilcar Barca was a Carthaginian general who led forces against Rome in Sicily during the First Punic War. After defeats, he expanded Carthaginian control in Iberia, founding cities and preparing to attack Rome again from this new base
The French settled parts of North America, including the St. Lawrence Valley given to them by Spain. Life was difficult at first but they established trade with local Indian tribes. Fur trading became important as the French set up outposts to trade goods like glass beads and kettles for furs. This attracted more Indians but created tensions with the Iroquois tribe. The French relied heavily on alliances with Indian tribes to maintain their North American colonies from the St. Lawrence River Valley to Louisiana. However, over time profits declined as the fur trade drained resources, leading to the withdrawal of some French outposts.
The document summarizes the interactions between European colonizers and Native Americans in North America, specifically in Canada. It describes how the French established trading partnerships with northern Algonquian tribes for fish, whales, and furs. This broke the Algonquians' alliance with the more aggressive Iroquoian tribes to the south, who partnered with the Dutch. The introduction of European goods and weapons escalated conflicts between tribes. The French took a different approach in Canada than other colonizers, allying with and relying on native warriors. They also had some success in missionary efforts by learning indigenous languages and building churches in native villages.
1) In the 16th century, European powers like France and England established semi-permanent colonies in North America to trade for fish and furs with local indigenous groups like the Algonquians and Iroquois.
2) The French colony depended on maintaining peaceful relations with these native tribes for trade and alliances against other groups.
3) However, alliances with some tribes created enemies of others, like the powerful Five Nation Iroquois who were formidable opponents in conflicts over territory and resources.

Redding, Connecticut commemorates the 1714 deed granting land to John Read, one of the first English settlers in an area between Fairfield and Danbury along the colonial frontier. This deed from Native Americans Chickens and Nasecro marked the founding of a multicultural community. The document summarizes the history of the area from Native American habitation thousands of years ago, through the Pequot War and English settlement, to the specifics of the 1714 deed granting land to John Read. It also provides background on Chickens and John Read, and details their ongoing relationship and legal disputes over the land.
The French established colonies in North America focused on the fur trade. They shifted their efforts northward to the St. Lawrence Valley, known as Canada, which was well-suited for fur trading due to its thick, valuable furs. The French struggled to attract colonists to New France, with fewer than 250 families emigrating during the 17th century. They established Louisiana in an attempt to link their colonies in Canada and Louisiana and control the North American interior, but Louisiana failed to develop a profitable export and suffered from corruption and mismanagement.
The document summarizes the interactions between Puritan colonists and Native American tribes in New England between 1600-1700. The Puritans viewed the landscape as desolate and saw the Indians as their opposite. They wanted to convert the tribes to Christianity and dominate the region. The main tribes in the area were the Mohegan, Pequot, Narragansett, Patuxet, Wampanoag, Nipmuck, and Massachusetts. However, the tribes lacked political unity compared to groups like the Powhatan. There were tensions as the colonists expanded onto native lands.
Spanish history in the region dates back 35,000-10,000 BC based on early cave paintings. The Iberian Peninsula served as a bridge between Europe and Africa, exposing Spain to various influences. The most influential early group were the Romans, who introduced Christianity and referred to locals as "Hispania". Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire in the early 1500s with help from the Indian slave Malinche, killing the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II. Cortes and others like Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca and Francis Drake explored the Americas in search of gold, land, and riches for Spain. France also explored the region, with Rene-Robert Cavelier naming

Hernando De Soto explored Georgia in 1540 searching for gold but found none. He and his men overwhelmed native peoples with weapons and horses, introducing smallpox that killed thousands. In the late 1600s, England began establishing colonies along the Atlantic coast and wanted a buffer colony between Spanish Florida and their other colonies, leading to the founding of Georgia in the 1730s. James Oglethorpe and others established the colony, founding the city of Savannah along a planned grid. Early colonists struggled but more immigrants arrived, and the colony grew and transitioned to practices like slavery and large plantations.
The document provides a summary of early United States history from 1800 to 1850, including key events such as the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the country's size, westward expansion leading to conflicts with Native Americans, the invention of the steamboat, completion of the Erie Canal, the Trail of Tears, and the war with Mexico. It sets the stage for discussing topics like Native American removal, slavery, and the growing divisions that eventually led to the Civil War.
The document describes the history and development of the English colonies in North America between 1630-1750. It discusses the founding and growth of the New England colonies by the Puritans in Massachusetts and Connecticut, as well as the colonies of Rhode Island and New York. It also describes the middle colonies of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, founded for reasons of religion and trade. The different colonial regions developed distinct economies and societies shaped by their environments and the ethnic groups that settled there.
1) During the 18th century, the British and French fought for control of North America and influence over Native American tribes.
2) As the French military presence declined after 1763, British traders abused Native Americans and encroached on their lands, leading to conflicts like the Cherokee War of 1761.
3) Meanwhile, Spain sought to maintain its claims in the Pacific Northwest against growing Russian and British exploration of the region in the late 1700s.
Early Spanish, French, and English settlements adopted different patterns based on their goals and environments:
- Spanish settlements in the Southwest US clustered along irrigation networks, following the strict rules of the Law of the Indies, which dictated an organized grid layout.
- French settlements in Canada consisted mainly of fishing and fur trading posts along the St. Lawrence River, with little permanent agriculture.
- English settlements varied, with plantations relying on indentured servants and slaves in the Chesapeake and Carolinas, while family farms predominated in New England and the Mid-Atlantic colonies. Tobacco agriculture and slavery characterized the South, while the North featured smaller mixed farms and more religious communities.
This document summarizes the transformation of the United States from a rural, agricultural nation after the Civil War into a industrialized, urbanized country by the early 20th century. The industrial revolution, powered by new technologies like railroads, steamboats, and factories, dramatically changed the US economy and society. Massive industrial and population growth centered in cities, which became the hubs of manufacturing. By 1900, the US had become the world's leading industrial power and first modern society, though it still retained aspects of its original character.
1) Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca was part of a Spanish expedition led by Panfilo de Narvaez in 1527 to explore Florida and set up trade. Most of the expedition was lost due to battles with Native Americans and hurricanes. De Vaca and a few others survived by wandering through what is now Texas for 8 years, living with different Native American groups.
2) In 1540, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado led a large Spanish expedition north based on stories of cities of gold. He explored parts of modern Arizona, New Mexico, and Kansas but found nothing of value. Around the same time, Hernando de Soto explored parts of what is now the southeastern US.
The French have contributed significantly to Texas history since the 17th century. Explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle founded the first European settlement in Texas in 1685 near Matagorda Bay. Though the colony was short-lived, it established France's claim to the region. In the 18th century, French traders expanded knowledge of the Gulf Coast and fostered trade with Native American tribes. The settlement of Castroville in 1844 by Henri Castro brought over 2,000 French immigrants from Alsace, creating a culturally distinctive community. Throughout the 19th century, additional French settlers, artists, and businessmen established communities and contributed to Texas culture, with legacies including the Menil art
This document provides an overview of the Spanish exploration and colonization of the borderlands region after conquering Mexico in the 16th century. It summarizes expeditions led by CaBeza de VaCa, Hernando de Soto, Francisco Vasquez Coronado, and Pedro Menendez de Aviles and their impacts. It also discusses the founding and failure of early colonies in New Mexico and the eventual Pueblo Revolt of 1680 that set the Spanish back significantly in the region.
The document discusses several factors that contributed to revolutions in the late 18th century, including growing wealth inequality in Boston, religious radicals rejecting church establishments, improved living standards for French colonists in Canada, Native Americans acquiring horses which increased their mobility, and Cherokee warriors killing settlers due to disrupted supply routes from the French.
1. Native Americans lived under constant oppression from European colonial powers who sought to gain control of new territories. They were frequently deceived, slaughtered, and saw their populations decimated by disease.
2. One of the largest impacts on Native American populations was epidemic diseases brought by European colonists, against which they had no immunity. Many tribes were also displaced and relocated west of the Mississippi River through acts like the Indian Removal Act in the 1830s.
3. Native Americans faced loss of land, culture, sovereignty, and way of life under the policies and expansion of European colonialism and later American manifest destiny, being relegated to reservations with little autonomy.

1. I have always loved history. I was born in New Orleans and lived there until I was 48 years
old. When I was a child only 8 or 9 years old I would lie to my parents about spending a long
Saturday afternoon at the movies and go the the French Quarter and just wander around
amercing myself in the historic aura of the place. Many years later my wife and I came to
Natchez and I was captivated by the place. You could almost feel history coming up out of
the ground. I felt surrounded by history more here than I had ever in New Orleans. In 1983 we
bought a downtown Victorian and after getting my job moved began to commute from here
until I retired in 1992. I became a Tour Guide and started lecturing Natchez History about 10
years ago. I was often asked if I had written a book about Natchez but I have neither the
talent or patience to write a book so I decided to put together a synopsis of my lecture and
make it available. I hope you enjoy it.
2. Natchez is a tiny town more than 70 miles from the
nearest Interstate and not on a well traveled route yet
visitors come by the thousands from most every State
and dozens of foreign countries – WHY?
3. Of course the main attraction is the town's hundreds of
antebellum buildings ....
4. ..... and hundreds of homes built after the Civil War but
before 1900. In fact houses built after 1900 are quite rare
in downtown – there are only 8 or 9 . More than 90% of
Natchez homes have been lovingly restored or
maintained. ...But WHY does Natchez have so many
wonderful homes? We'll have to take a look at its long
history to learn why.
5. London, Paris, Rome, Natchez. What do these cities have
in common? They're on a river, as the only way to move
goods back then was by water but because the old boats
could only travel downstream they also needed a land
bridge back to where people lived.
6. Our River was always there, but our 150 foot bluff is only
12,000 years old, composed of loess blown in after the
last ice age. Loess is so compact and solid even great
big houses need no foundation and will endure for ages
without cracked ceilings, walls, and doors and windows
that get stuck. So folks are not inclined to tear them
down and build new ones. (that'll come in very handy
later).
7. About 6,000 years ago large animals began to migrate
from the West. They probably crossed here in large
numbers because until the 1930's the river was narrower
and had a much slower current. On this side of the river
we are in a vast hardwood forest and as a result the
animals had to graze over long distances. They traveled
back and forth between here and a series of salt licks on
a river 490 miles to the northeast (the Cumberland). Their
constant travels created a series of quite distinct trails
over the highest ground and crossing the streams at the
best places.
8. 2-3,000 years ago the first people arrived. They were
originally small family groups of 8 or 9 but later
coalesced into identifiable nations. Here they were the
Choctaw. These nations had clan groups. A major one
was the Natchez who unlike most all others were not
nomadic. They settled here as early as AD 1,200. WHY
were the Natchez permanently settled here? - Remember
those game trails? They became major native roads
connecting the various groups in the Southeast. They
would load their trade goods onto rafts and canoes,
come down the streams into the Mississippi River here,
do their trading and return up the trails to their homes.
9. The Natchez were the last mound building culture in
America north of Mexico. Because of their permanence
and their highly developed agricultural methods (they
farmed extensively on the West bank of the river with its
fabulously fertile land) they had the free time to express
their religion in the building of impressive ceremonial
mounds. They were highly civilized with strong moral
codes and and a clear understanding of private property
in many ways they were more civilized than the
Europeans who came to this area in the 15th & 16th
centuries. Lasalle and Bienville met and chronicled them.
10. The La Salle expedition (1670) to the mouth of the River
(during which he spent time with the Natchez) led to the
realization that the real potential of trade in America lay
with control and utilization of the Mississippi River basin
(40% of the continent). They needed a place as far South
as possible with friendly Indians and a land bridge back
to the homes of the traders (remember?) Remembering
the Natchez and the trails back up north they established
a trading post in the 1690's and .............
11. In 1716 the French built Ft Rosalie at and established the colony of
Natchez (before New Orleans). It was primarily a trade post to
gather goods for shipment to Europe. Their relations with the
Natchez deteriorated leading to a war in 1729 which led to the
destruction of the Natchez people. The French introduced African
slaves as early as the 1690's. During this period traffic on the trails
developed, Named the Natchez Trace (from the French word
“tracier” which means to follow in the footsteps of another, all
roads that were originally game trails were so called). Most all
traffic on the Trace was South to north as only fools would come
overland rather than by water. Even at its height it took 5-9 weeks to
cover the 500 miles from Natchez to what became Nashville. The
area outside of Natchez remained wilderness.
12. The French lost the “Seven Years War” in 1763 and lost ALL of their
American possessions. The British got all from the Alleghenys to the
River. The Spanish got everything west of the River and the “isle of
Orleans” (the current State of Louisiana east of the River). King George
gave land grants in the only settled area in the old Southwest (Natchez
Territory) to OFFICERS who had served well in the war. They came from
Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. They were NOT
“have nothings” looking for a better life, they were people of wealth,
education, and social stature. Gentlemen in the classic sense – the good
– the bad, fiercely loyal to the King they were joined by others like them
when the Revolution was brewing. They were determined that Natchez
would forever be British.
13. It was the British who brought the “plantation” system to
Natchez. Those land grants were usually more than 2,000
acres and with them began the generation of great wealth
in the area. The principle crops were tobacco and indigo,
cotton was not yet a viable commercial crop as the
process of removing the seeds from the boll was
uneconomical even with slaves. As with the French most
buildings in Natchez were down on the River and out in
the “country”. The earliest surviving home in Natchez
(Hope Farm) was built before 1775 during the British
period.
14. Slavery existed in Natchez even before the French as the
Natchez and other groups kept slaves. Under the French
and all through time till 1863 half or more of the people
here were slaves. In Natchez however most all of them
were house slaves, craftsmen, yardmen, clerks, and
other non laboring slaves. As a result the status of
Natchez slaves was much higher than found in the rest of
the South. While education of slaves was virtually
unknown in most places it was common in Natchez
probably because the “Gentlemen had a highly
developed sense of superiority and security . Most
houses and other buildings were built by slaves and the
wealth of the area came from the crops on the
plantations where the work was done by field slaves who
had a much lower status than the town slaves.
15. In 1779 the Spanish down in New Orleans realized that
the British were so involved with the Revolution that they
could fulfill a long standing desire and take Natchez
virtually unopposed. After the conquest only 8 or 9
Spanish families came. Natchez remained largely an
English town. It was the Spanish that laid out the town
on the top of bluff. Beyond that established a
bureaucratic government with the first comprehensive
set of laws and regulations with exhaustively exact
records. They also formalized the regulation regarding
treatment and management of the slaves. They were
quite lax in allowing the British population to continue
life much as they had before the Spanish arrival. The
Spanish became very entrenched in the business and
social life of the town and prospered along with the
natives.
16. In 1793 a machine was invented by Eli Whitney that
changed everything. A single slave hand cranking a
“Cotton Gin” could produce 60-80 pounds of lint a day. A
larger gin connected to a power source could produce a
thousand. Almost overnight cotton became king and with
the marvelously fertile land across the river wealth grew
to unimaginable heights. They could literally produce
more cotton than they could move given the still primitive
means of moving freight one way by water.
17. Near the end of the 18th century the United States was
swept up in the desire to control the continent from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi River. In 1795 they negotiated
a treaty with the Spanish to take the old Natchez Territory
(comprised of the area of the current states of
Mississippi and Alabama). The new Americans
(successors of the old “Gentlemen”) were steadfast
Whigs who were what the Democrats today think of the
Republicans. With cotton Natchez became fabulously
wealthy. Wealthy Gentlemen marry Gentlewomen usually
chosen by their family up north. A Gentleman wouldn't
put his Gentlewoman wife out in the wilderness on the
plantation, no he would build her a nice home in town
and so began the process of turning this outpost into a
beautiful cosmopolitan city.
18. A Gentleman doesn't make money – he spends money. He NEVER talks about money and would
NEVER engage in trade. He had NO respect for a white man who did so. So rose up from the well
educated and talented slaves a new kind of person – a “Freeman of Colour”. They became the
shopkeepers, the contractors, the blacksmiths, carpenters, the tradesmen. Many owned slaves.
Natchez had more than 200. They enjoyed most rights except voting, serving on juries, holding a
civil office etc. They became the backbone of what tiny middle class there was in old Natchez.
Below is the home built by William Johnson saved by the Garden Club and donated to the Park
Service.(Google him you'll find him a fascinating person)
When Mississippi seceded the Freemen of Colour went north or to South America.
19. In 1811 the town was amazed to hear that boat would
come down the river and return against the current. But
indeed it did. By the 1820s it had developed into a
practical means of moving vast amounts of freight. Now
they could move all the cotton they could grow and the
wealth multiplied. In the 1850 census Natchez had more
millionaires than any city except New York, Philadelphia ,
and Boston. More per capita than anywhere in the world.
More houses were built in the 1830's than any other
decade. Cotton and the steamboat made it happen. Good
times indeed.
20. Beginning in the 1790s until about 1915 most all of the
houses were built of cypress. Cypress was very plentiful
in the swampy areas across the river and north and
South of the bluff. Later they learned cypress doesn't rot,
termites don't eat it, borer bees don't bore it. Paint is
purely decorative it isn't needed to preserve it. Now
we've got houses whose foundations don't shift built of
material that doesn't rot. My house was built in 1886, two
rooms and kitchen were added in the 1920's. When I
bought it in 1987 those rooms were so dilapidated I tore
them down and rebuilt. The original house was as sound
as new. My great grandchildren will have to rebuild the
“new” rooms. Above is an old log rescued from a swamp
probably cut more than a century ago.
21. Only 40 or so houses in Natchez could be called
“mansions” most are like this one. An 1830s cottage, a
double door so common here. Until the mid 19th century
glass was expensive and difficult to get. Because of the
climate they wanted maximum air flow with openings on
at least two sides of the room. Where they could they
substituted doors for windows. In this house one door
goes into the parlor the other into a bedroom.
22. In the 1840's the slavery question has the country in
turmoil. Natchez folks were dead set in favor of slavery
and equally opposed to secession. In the 1860
presidential election 62% voted for the pro union
candidates (Bell & Douglas). Lincoln got no votes. In the
State session vote after Lincoln's election 77% voted
NOT to secede. State loyalists that they were 1,444
Natchez men served for the Confederacy. Natchez was of
no strategic value and Confederate troops were never
stationed here. The town was shelled several times by
Union gunboats (the Essex below). The Union Navy
landed three times and the Mayor surrendered each time
he could get there before the boat left. Natchez was the
Paris of the Confederacy.
23. Natchez was occupied on July 13, 1863 just nine days after Vicksburg fell. Probably because much of the
town was descended from people from the North and still had family and business connections in the
North we only lost two houses to the Yankee occupation. Natchez was back in the Union but go two miles
in any direction you were back in the Confederacy. As a result the Union commander was overwhelmed
with 10-15,000 slaves escaping to Natchez to win their freedom. Below is the Federal map of 1864 in the
upper left corner to the left of the yellow X they built barracks for freed slaves. Given poor sanitary
conditions an poor food they began to die in large numbers. We don't know the actual numbers BUT of
the 3,250 Colored Troops (USCTs) enlisted from the freed slaves. They came up every day from their
barracks (red X)to work on the fort being built. They were of military age, had healthy work, and better
food. We KNOW 830 died of the 3,250 (38%).
24. After the War the crops were worth more than before. The
plantations were broken up into smaller farms and unlike
the Gentlemen the farmers spent their money here.
Unlike most of the South a smaller number of freed
slaves became sharecroppers. Many bought portions of
the plantations and became independent farmers. In fact
the largest property owner in the County was the Mazique
family who owned several entire plantations. Many freed
slaves became business owners, contractors, and
tradesmen developing a vibrant Black middle class.
Large numbers of Jewish folk came (mostly from the
Alsace region) and became merchants and businessmen.
Good times it seems had come back for good.
25. Good things come to an end .... again! About 1910 the
Boll Weevil arrived and devastated the cotton economy.
Unlike other places our hard headed folk kept planting
and the weevils kept eating. Old folk in Natchez will tell
you that the Depression came in 1929 and nobody
noticed. Bad times but good can come from bad.
26. In the 1920's another plague swept the land and all over
the country we lost thousands of old buildings – art deco,
the mood was “old is bad – new is good”. There may
have been Natchez people who wanted to be stylish but
no one could afford it. So the houses endured no paint –
no repairs but ,hey, no matter they're cypress.
27. In the 1920's the Garden Club movement swept the South. The Natchez Garden Club was formed in 1927
and State Convention was held in Natchez. Tradition holds that the host ladies arrange Garden Tours for
the visiting ladies. The Natchez garden were deemed by the local ladies as unfit so they decided to give a
house tour instead. Grandma's hoop skirt was still in the attics and they decided to “dress out” to
“receive”. Was it a hit? The State's ladies voted to hold the next convention in Natchez again so they
could bring their friends. The GC ladies said “you know people might be willing to pay money to see the
houses” a radical notion indeed. The first “Pilgrimage” was in 1932 and began a tradition which has
become one of the major events in the South. Money for preservation was the goal and work it did.
28. The final preservationists --- During WWII oil was
discovered Natchez. By the end of the war “old was
good” again and the money rolled in beginning
preservation and restoration in earnest.
29. The River, the Dirt, the Game
Trails, the Native People,
African Slaves, The Gentlemen
and their Wives, Cypress,
Cotton, Steamboats, The Boll
Weevil, The Ladies, Oil -
THAT'S WHY
Why Natchez
