The Union captured Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1863 during the Civil War as part of their campaign to control the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Union forces, led by Major General Frederick Steele, advanced from Helena, Arkansas, and successfully besieged the city, which was defended by Confederate troops under the command of General Sterling Price. The Confederates withdrew, allowing Union troops to occupy Little Rock, which became a strategic base for Union operations in the region. This capture was significant in weakening Confederate control in Arkansas and securing Union dominance in the state.
