With the capture of Vicksburg in July 1863, the Confederacy had no bases on the Mississippi River. The Union nay "controlled" the river in that sense. With that said, Confederates could at times plant torpedoes in the river and fire artillery from hidden areas. River cargo, however, was never even close to 1860 tonnage.

The speed of the flow changes depending on season, rainfall, width, depth, gradient and where in the river you measure it. However the total outflow averages approximately 209,000 m3/s (7,381,000 cu ft/s).
