The biggest influence for settling Natchez was its location on the Mississippi River. The strategic location of Natchez overlooking the river made it a pivotal center of trade and commerce. In the nineteenth century the river became lined with vast tracts of land in the surrounding lowlands of Mississippi and Louisiana where large crops of cotton and sugar cane were grown using slave labor. Natchez became the principal port from which these crops were exported.
