Farragut's victory at Mobile Bay was important for the following reasons:

1) The Confederate ironclad Tennessee was put out of combat and captured;

2) The roadstead of Mobile was definitively closed both as Confederate Naval Base and Harbour for Confederates' blockade runners;

3) Together with Sherman's seizing of Atlanta, the victory was a pivotal event which really helped Lincoln to regain the favour of the public opinion during his

electoral campaign for the second Nomination.
