The South's river systems were vital for each side in terms of troop and supplies transport. The Union held the upper hand on the rivers due to the size of its gunboat fleet. On the other hand, the South had no major gunboat fleets to counter the Union navy. All they could do was to resort to guerrilla warfare and use rifle fire from river banks. This rarely stopped any Union gunboat operations. Only when the Confederates could bring artillery to the river banks did they sink Union vessels. On more narrow rivers, the Rebels had a better rate of success. Notable successes were near Johnsonville on the Tennessee River and on the White River in Arkansas.
