During the US Civil War the control of the mouth of the river and areas north of New Orleans were of vital importance.
The Mississippi ran through five Southern States. The ability to conduct war operations by controlling this river was of vital importance to both the North and the South.

If you need a bibliographic reference, read "Life on the Mississippi" by Mark Twain, his account of living by the river and his mostly-true accounts of becoming a riverboat captain. It's available for free from Amazon or from Gutenberg.org. See the link below.
