Why was the capture of Galveston important to the confederate?

The capture of Galveston was crucial for the Confederacy during the Civil War as it served as a vital port for trade and supply, allowing the South to facilitate the movement of goods, including cotton and military supplies. Galveston's strategic location on the Gulf of Mexico enabled the Confederacy to maintain access to international trade, particularly with European nations. Controlling this port also helped protect Texas from Union forces, ensuring a continuous flow of resources to support the Confederate war effort. Additionally, the capture reinforced Confederate morale and showcased their ability to reclaim territory from Union forces.


How did the union gain of the Mississippi river?

By capturing Vicksburg, the last major river-port in Confederate hands. It was almost impossible to attack the high-lying town from the West bank where Grant had been ordered to march against his will. Through brilliant diversionary tactics, he was able to cross the river downstream, without the commander of the garrison noticing. Then he brought the Confederates to battle, helped by the bad situation of the garrison commander, who was receiving conflicting orders. It should be noted that the siege on Vicksburg was the Union's third and final attempt to capture this important city.
