Stanton Hall in Natchez Mississippi. A beautiful antebellum mansion in a city of antebellum mansions. Natchez was spared burning by Union soldiers. After the first volley of cannon fire by Union ships on the Mississippi river, the residents of Natchez quickly surrendered. They didn't want their beautiful houses ruined! This is why there are still so many beautiful antebellum homes and mansions in Natchez and almost none in Vicksberg Mississippi. Vicksberg did not surrender and was subject to a year of naval bombardment until they finally surrendered.
