During the American Civil War, the goal of the Union forces in the Western Theater was simple: to wrest control of the Mississippi River from Confederate forces as a prelude to invasions of the Deep South. The difficult part of the task came from the many fortresses and natural barriers between the Union forces and the achievement of their goal.
