Yes, the state of Illinois was important to the Civil War for several reasons. 1) it supplied the Union army with a great deal of grain, meat and other victuals. 2) It provided railroad and river transportation through the city of Cairo which was absolutely vital to the Union Victory in the West. 3) It was the base for Abraham Lincoln, for whose stalwart and brilliant leadership was instrumental for the outcome of the war and 4) for the many regiments it supplied to the Army of the Ohio, the Army of the Tennessee and the Army of the Cumberland. Of these the 9th Illinois,36th Illinois, 55th Illinois and the 93rd Illinois were noted for their effectiveness, bravery, and sacrifice.
