What was the Union's goal in the Red River campaign of 1864?
The Red River Campaign in Louisiana ran contrary to the plans of General in Chief US Grant. Grant placed great value on capturing the port City of Mobile, Alabama. The Red River campaign was a favorite one for both President Lincoln and his top military advisor Henry W. Halleck. In a manner of speaking, the campaign was the result of what military historians call a scheme to drive the trans-Mississippi from the war before the Union concentrated against the area east of the river. General Henry W. Halleck saw the campaign as a military necessity. On the other hand, President Lincoln favored it for political reasons. His desire was to bring Louisiana back to the Union as soon as possible as a slave free state. The campaign was led by Union Major General Nathaniel Banks and began on March 10, 1864 to May 22, 1864. Although Banks began the campaign with positive results, he was deep into Southern territory. The Rebels harassed his army relentlessly. The Union's efforts solved nothing and ended with Bank's defeat at the Battle of Mansfield. It severely delayed Grant's plans against Mobile.

Lincoln wanted to see a "free state reorganization of Louisiana" in the shortest amount of time as possible. If successful, it would help reduce the South's power and score a political victory for the Republicans and help his reelection.
