The Union Army considered New Orleans and the Mississippi River as key military targets during the Civil War because they were crucial for controlling trade and supply routes. Capturing New Orleans, the largest city in the South, would disrupt Confederate logistics and commerce, while controlling the Mississippi River would divide the Confederacy and hinder its ability to move troops and resources. Securing these locations was essential for the Union's strategy to cripple the Southern economy and enhance their own military operations.

Were there any other Japanese military places where America could have dropped the bomb?

The targets chosen were not military targets. In fact, strictly military targets were not chosen because of the possibility of missing a small military target not surrounded by a large urban area. The targets available to General Carl Spaatz were all cities with large civilian populations. Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata and Nagasaki were the final choices for dropping the atomic bomb. All of which are large cities that were of reasonable military value. The debate comes in on whether the United States should have dropped the atomic bomb on a strictly military site and avoided the monstrous amount of civilian casualties.
