Natchez was a hotbed ofresistance activity. Natchez acts as a microcosm ofthe broader trends in southern history, as rebellionwas pervasive, highly meaningful, and part ofeveryday life. However, Natchez is also unique.Whoever controlled Natchez also commanded theMississippi River. White resistance against lawfulauthority provided slaves and Indians with anexample.
