In 1900 Galveston was an up and coming city while New Orleans was in the midst of a slow decline in importance. Galveston had not yet gone on to build sea walls and other defenses against hurricanes, but New Orleans had not yet started to drain the bayous around the city to expand below sea level, although it was still vulnerable to flooding. How does the history of these two cities differ if it the two cities trade fates in 1900, with Galveston learning the lessons of hurricane protection at the expense of New Orleans and having a better foundation with which to compete against Houston?
