The Union sought control over rivers that were located in the South. By doing so, it curtailed Confederate use of these rivers to transport soldiers and supplies. The Union wanted to also use these rivers for the same purpose and aid their invasions of enemy territories. Railroads were also used for the same purposes. So they were areas of contention.
