Security and Settlements
Security and Settlements
This chapter discusses the need to improve communication with remote areas, such as the Natchez District and St. Stephens. The Congress designated a number of post roads and the establishment of post offices. Tighter security and faster communication was soon needed, and were considered to be more important than the comfort of the passengers traveling along those roads. The chapter also describes the increase of the population of the district due to cotton production, and how the Mississippi Territory was viewed as “the garden of all America”.
