Do you people forget how important the Mississippi port is to our country?

jesus h christ, one of the MOST IMPORTANT cities in america and you guys act like its a village in Africa.

25% of oil, i wont go into the importing new orleans does, but as you see prices go up youll notice.

the city at the mouth of the mississippi will forever be one of the most IMPORTANT cities this country has.

just because you guys dont pay attention to the amount of steel, lumber, spices, sugar, and oil that comes from that region does not take away from its importance.

The Battle Of New orleans states EXACTLY how important new Orleans is to this country, because a city that controls that river is as valuable as anything to this land.

It controls Americas most important port. New Orleans.
