Originally I asked what was the first large Confederate city to fall in the US Civil War, however, this question may suffice. In terms of a major city, it would be the port city of New Orleans. This was important as it layat the mouth of the Mississippi River. Union Admiral Farragut was in charge of the victorius battle.
