Archaeo-Hydrology question

Before there was a Mississippi River levee, would part of the Mississippi flow down the Amite system when it overtopped the natural bank? Could this happen again in the event of a levee break? Hypothetically, could the Mississippi permanently divert part or even all of its flow down the Amite watershed in such a scenario?

Bayou Manchac use to connect to the Mississippi river before the levees were built

Bayou Manchac was historically a distributary of the Mississippi, connecting it to the Amite River and Lake Maurepas. A percentage of the Mississippi's flow would divert that way when the river was high. When the river was low, a percentage of the Amite's flow would go down Manchac the other way into the Mississippi. It was never a threat to take the primary flow, though.
