How did ships help the civil war?
The Union used ships to enforce a blockade on the ports of the south, so that they could not import war goods or export cash crops like cotton and tobacco. The Union also used ships to transport troops and as gunboats to bombard enemy cities and forts. Ships were very important to bring supplies to armies far from home. The most famous ships of the south were the blockade runners, small fast ships meant to take a few tons of cargo and sneak past the Union blockade.
Was an effect of the unions naval blockade of the Confederacy?
The naval blockade prevented the Confederacy from receiving supplies from Britain(mostly). It also prevented goods from shipping out so the money which would otherwise be made by this commerce was reduced. In an effort to defeat the blockade "Blockade Runners"were used. These were low-profile,fast ships that could sometimes get past the larger Union Navy ships and make it to port.

What was the strategy for the union in the battle of Vicksburg?
There appears to have been no strategic vision at the beginning of the campaign. Once a naval demonstration and two direct assaults failed, as did an attempt to dig a canal around the city, Grant formulated the plan that eventually worked. He crossed to the West side of the river and marched his troops South along the far bank. The Union gunboats ran past the batteries and ferried Grant's forces back across to the Mississippi side, using a diversion to distract Pemberton from attacking the landing point. Grant cut himself off from his supply bases and marched away from Vicksburg to the railhead at Jackson, cutting Vicksburg off from supplies and reinforcements. Then turning toward Vicksburg, Grant surrounded the city, and after failing again at direct assault from the landward side, settled in to bombard and starve Vicksburg into submission. Forty days later, the city surrendered.
How did the Vicksburg battle start?
In 1862 Union gunboats tried to reduce the emplacement's. Failing that, Grant attempted a series of frontal assaults. Finally, Grant slipped past the emplacements and encircled the town to invest it. After six weeks of bombardment and blockade, the starving town surrendered.
What were two examples of why the Union blockade efforts against the South were not as effective as some historians have believed?
Two of the deadliest Confederate raiding ships, the CSS Alabama and the CSS Florida were built by the British and both were able to slip past the Union blockade of Mobile, Alabama. These raiders demolished a huge number of Union cargo ships. It was not unknown by the Union that the British were building these warships for the South, yet both of them were able to slip past Union blockade efforts.The other example is cited by US Grant in his memoirs of the war. He wrote that after his siege of Vicksburg caused it to surrender, he discovered 60,000 rifles in Vicksburg, and the best ones were made by the British. Clearly, the blockade was not as effective as many historians seem to have believed.

Why was Union General Grant's prediction that the war was almost over too optimistic?
After the fall of Vicksburg, General US Grant had every reason to believe that the war was almost over. His prediction can viewed in the light of any number of such predictions. Even to the point that his own prediction after Shiloh was too optimistic.All the fighting in the Western Theater, was rough and filled with tens of thousands of casualties. Yet despite that, it was seen shortly afterwards, that the Mississippi River and Vicksburg were not points of critical mass won by Union generals in the West.After Gettysburg and Vicksburg, Grant and many others had every reason to see the war coming to a quick end.Southern will was injured but not broken. It's power to resist was formidable. In fact the Union almost lost the war in 1864.With that said, it was clear, even then, that Grant's persistent campaigning over the past two years was against a secondary objective.This was why, as one example, Robert E. Lee and even General Joseph Johnston had written off Vicksburg in 1862.

What Union victory enabled them to control 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.
