There is a persistent belief, that historians have corrected concerning the Union's control of the Mississippi River. Union cargo on the river did not increase to levels even from 1860. The idea that the South was cut in half sounds great except some mathematics shows that two Southern states and part of another lay west of the Mississippi River. Contrary to popular belief, supples from the West did not flow eastward through Vicksburg. A careful study of the situation indicates that the Union scored a Propaganda victory when Vicksburg surrendered.
