What were the two largest southern cities in 1850, with populations over 100,000? atlanta and baltimore charleston and atlanta baltimore and new orleans new orleans and charleston?

The two largest southern cities in 1850 were Baltimore and New Orleans with population 169,000 and 116,000 respectively. This is primarily because they were port cities, with Baltimore being on the Atlantic Ocean and New Orleans being on the Mississippi River, a major trade hub.
