What contributed to the success of the New Orleans trading center?

Answer 1

New Orleans became a busy trading and business center because its location on the mouth of the Mississippi River led to many towns and cities to the north of the city. Trade traveled up and down the river and the city prospered. It also became a major slave trading city. Captured Black Africans were bought and sold there for decades before the American Revolution. It remained a slave trading center until the agreement made to ratify the US Constitution called for the end of slave trading in 1808 during the term of US President Thomas Jefferson.
