During the American Civil War in the 1860s, both Vicksburg and New Orleans served the South as key guardian-cities of the Mississippi River. As a result, both were featured in significant battles during that conflict. Even earlier, New Orleans was the site of battles during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, with the British as the opponent in each.
