Fort Gibson was strategically important during the Civil War because it served as a key military outpost for both Union and Confederate forces in the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). Its location along the Arkansas River allowed for crucial supply lines and troop movements. Control of the fort enabled the commanding side to exert influence over Native American allies and local populations, making it a focal point in the struggle for dominance in the region. Additionally, the fort's capture and defense were vital for securing access to resources and maintaining communication routes.
