Old map showing West Florida, the panhandle, and East Florida, to the southeast. Under west and east Florida, a label reads, To Great Britain, 1763 to 1783. To the left of west Florida is the city of New Orleans. The Mississippi River is on the western side of the map, and runs from north to south, passing Fort Panmure and exiting at New Orleans. Fort Toulouse is north in West Florida, near the Alabama River. Saint Marks is slightly inland in East Florida. The Gulf of Mexico is south.

Answer:

New Orleans

Step-by-step explanation:

The best city to establish a major shipping port, based on this map, would be the city of New Orleans. There are two important reasons why this would be particularly useful, according to this map. First, New Orleans has easy access to the ocean. Second, the Mississippi River exits in New Orleans. This means that the city is most likely well connected to many different territories and potential markets.
