Analyze the role and the activity of James Willing as it relates to the American Revolution and the Natchez District.
Answer:
The Continental Congress sent James Willing, a former Natchez resident, on an expedition in 1778 down
the Mississippi River to Natchez to encourage the citizens to join the American cause again England.
Willing found many Loyalists and arrested several, confiscated their property, and took them as
prisoners to New Orleans. He was ordered to leave because Spain (who controlled New Orleans at this
time) was not at war with England and did not want trouble.
