The Port of Mobile slowed down again after The War ended. The rebuilt ports in Los Angeles and New Orleans took much of their shipping business, and the American military began to downsize so needed little new construction. Mobile returned to civilian construction and shipping projects, and their market share has once again slipped as the decades have gone by. There are better locations to ship from, after all. The corporations of Mobile have always been able to overcome that location through numerous incentives, and they continue to prosper today. They are still one of the great ports in America, and the money and taxes they bring in make Alabama one of the richest States in the Confederation of Dixie. They will always have a place in the shipping business, as long as the corporations continue to innovate and acquire fresh contracts whenever a competitor gives them an opening.
