| 摘要： | Vicksburg, Miss., is one of the Souths most iconic Mississippi River towns. Ironically, though, much of Vicksburg was cut off from the Mississippi River in 1876, when the river changed course at Louisiana's Desoto Peninsula. Ulysses S. Grants forces attempted to trigger that course change during the Civil War in order to cut the city off from the river. What Grant was unable to do in 1862 and 1863, nature achieved just 13 years later. The course change cost Vicksburg its river port and, in turn, led to a drastic downturn in the city's economy. The city floundered until 1903, when the Yazoo Diversion Canal was completed, thus reconnecting the city to the river. |
