I have not taken this print out of the frame to inspect the back. The area which is now Vicksburg was long occupied by the Natchez. As part of their historical territory along the Mississippi. The Natchez spoke a language isolate not related to the Muskogean languages. Of the other major tribes in the area.

Before the Natchez, other indigenous cultures had occupied this strategic area for thousands of years. Who settled the area were French. In 1719 on the high bluffs overlooking the Yazoo River. They conducted fur trading with the Natchez and others and started plantations. On 29 November 1729, the Natchez attacked. The fort and plantations in and around the present-day city of Natchez. They killed several hundred settlers, including the Jesuit. Missionary Father Paul Du Poisson.

As was the custom, they took a number of women and children as captives. The Natchez War was a disaster for French Louisiana, and the colonial population of the Natchez District never recovered. But, aided by the Choctaw. Traditional enemies of the Natchez, the French defeated and scattered the Natchez and their allies, the Yazoo.

The Choctaw Nation took over the area by right of conquest and inhabited it for several decades. Under pressure from the US government, in 1801 the Choctaw agreed to cede nearly 2,000,000 acres 8,100 km. Of land to the US under the terms of the Treaty of Fort Adams. The treaty was the first of a series that eventually led to the removal. In 1830 of most of the Choctaw to Indian Territory.

West of the Mississippi River. Some Choctaw remained in Mississippi, citing article XIV of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. They became citizens of the state and the United States.

They struggled to maintain their culture against the pressure of the binary slave society, which classified people as only white or black. In 1790, the Spanish founded a military outpost on the site, which they called Fort Nogales.

When the Americans took possession in 1798 following the American Revolutionary War. And a treaty with Spain, they changed the name to Walnut Hills. The small village was incorporated in 1825 as Vicksburg, named after Newitt Vick.

Who had established a Protestant mission on the site. In 1835, during the Murrell Excitement. A mob from Vicksburg attempted to expel the gamblers from the city, because the citizens were tired of the rougher element treating the city residents with nothing but contempt.

They captured and hanged five gamblers who had shot and killed a local doctor. Rothman calls this event the deadliest outbreak of extralegal violence in the slave states between the Southampton Insurrection and the Civil War. View of Vicksburg in 1855. During the American Civil War. The city finally surrendered during the Siege of Vicksburg. After which the Union Army. Gained control of the entire Mississippi River. The 47-day siege was intended to starve the city into submission. Its location atop a high bluff overlooking the Mississippi River proved otherwise impregnable to assault by federal troops. The surrender of Vicksburg by Confederate General John C. On July 4, 1863, together with the defeat of General Robert E. The day before, has historically marked the turning point. In the Civil War in the Union's favor. Some accounts say that the residents of Vicksburg did not celebrate the national holiday of 4th of July. Again until 1945, after United States victory in World War II, but this is inaccurate.

Large Fourth of July celebrations were being held by 1907, and informal celebrations took place before that. Because of the city's location on the Mississippi River, in the 19th century it built an extensive trade from the prodigious steamboat. In 1876 a Mississippi River flood cut off the large meander. Flowing past Vicksburg, leaving limited access to the new channel. The city's economy suffered greatly.

Between 1881 and 1894, the Anchor Line. A prominent steamboat company on the Mississippi River from 1859 to 1898, operated a steamboat called the City of Vicksburg. Add a map to your own listings.
