As the war dragged on, and despite the fact that it lasted about four years, it seems to many students of this war, that because of the time & place of the war, that 4 years was indeed a long time. Communications as example were nothing like today. Communications were slow. When Lee surrendered as example, it took a few days before the Confederate's forces west of Virginia knew about it. The geography of the war was small in that most of the battles were in Virginia.

The first prognostications were for a brief battle to end a rebellion. And as an example, Lincoln's original call was for 75,000 troops to serve 3 months.

With all that said, the Union wanted to vacate Louisiana of Southern troops so that cotton could be obtained for the textile mills in New England. The lack of it caused unemployment and unrest among the workers there.

To harvest the crop, the Union was keen on gathering the slaves in Louisiana to harvest the cotton and, via the port of New Orleans, ship it to the northeast.
