Many people do not consider General Butler a great general. Butler did not have a large garrison at New Orleans. I am not sure if the locals would have not supported a Confederate recapture on New Orleans. So did the Confedercy give any real thought of doing so?
I will admit that holding it after recapture might have been difficult.
