Mississippi was a significant battleground during the Civil War, being one of the first states to secede from the Union in January 1861. The state was crucial for its strategic river access, particularly the Mississippi River, which was vital for transportation and supply lines. Numerous battles occurred in Mississippi, including the Siege of Vicksburg, which was a turning point in the war and resulted in a Union victory in July 1863. Overall, Mississippi played a prominent role in the conflict, both as a site of military action and as a source of Confederate resources.
