Located on the Mississippi River across from Vidalia, Louisiana, Natchez was a prominent city in the antebellum years, a center of cotton planters and Mississippi River trade.

In the decades preceding the Civil War, Natchez was by far the most prevalent slave trading city in Mississippi, and second in the United States only to New Orleans.[5] The leading markets were located at the Forks of the Road, at the intersection of Liberty Road and Washington Road (now D'Evereux Drive and St. Catherine Street). In 1833, the most active slavers in the United States, John Armfield and Isaac Franklin began a program of arbitraging low slave prices in the Middle Atlantic area by sending thousands of slaves to Deep South markets in Natchez and New Orleans. Their company, Franklin and Armfield sent an annual caravan of slaves, called a coffle, from Virginia to the Forks of the Road in Natchez, as well as sending others by ship through New Orleans. Unlike other slave sellers of the day, Franklin and Armfield sold slaves individually, with the buyers allowed to survey the people much like items in a modern retail store.[6]

Cacs and c00ns have been trying to rewrite history recently claiming the devils punch bowl as a myth.

The Devil’s Punchbowl: Debunking the social media myth of a Civil War massacre

Social media videos and blog posts periodically describe a story of a heinous concentration camp made up of newly freed African Americans along the Mississippi Delta in the 1860s. Historians, however, say there’s no evidence that any of it is true.

I think it was about 10 years ago when some story about a racist white frat went national. That was my first time hearing about "plantation event planning".
People are demons.
