minerals are moved by the water's pressure and when the water hits rocks it collects minerals and washes it into other places.

What is the heavy material that's deposited when the river currently slows down?

Well heavy earth material like sand slows down at the mouth on the river. It slows down at the mouth because at the source of the river is the fastest but as it is moving down the plain it is slowing down because of friction. Also because the eroded sand that is in the water is making the water heavier which means it will slow it down

Did the Union use the Mississippi River to transport troops?

Answer Yes. During the first year, the Union sent gunboats and troop ships down the Mississippi River to attack Fort Donnelson. Then they moved over to the Tennessee River in order to move into northern Mississippi(state). Later, Union ships moved into the mouth of the Mississippi River and attacked the Confederate shipyards located in the Yazoo River. They moved troops to Vicksburg in order to lay a seige on this important city that threatened the ships traveling the river.
