Does anyone know why almost all of the Mississippi River port cities are on the Left Bank of the river and not the Right Bank?

You do realize that you can travel in either direction on a river, upstream and downstream? There's a reason nobody refers to left bank or right bank, because that's all dependent on which way you are traveling. It's ok to admit when you don't know what you are talking about instead speaking/typing and taking away all doubt.

Read the link. Hell, Google it yourself, and you will see hundreds of explanation of the Left/Right Bank usage.
"Left Bank" and "Right Bank" of a river have meanings analogous to "starboard" and "port" on a boat ... based upon facing downriver, rather than facing the bow.
