Why was David Farragut's victory in April 1862 so important?

He was an admiral in the US Navy during the Civil War. While he made numerous mistakes, and did a number of extremely stupid things, in three cases, he excelled magnificently. Early in the war, he succeeded in coming up the Mississippi River and destroying the defenses of New Orleans, a feat considered impossible. Later, he joined Grant's army in the Battle of Vicksburg and used naval canon to prevent General Joe Johnson from waging a successful counter attack against Grant's forces while Grant set up his siege. Finally, he captured the town of Mobile sailing through a passageway all other admirals considered hopeless. He did it by going as fast as his ships would go so the enemy could not aim their canon. There he said, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." The port of navigable rivers go to the port of Mobile from Rome Georgia and near the north part of the state of Mississippi. The South lost a port on the Gulf that could serve most of the South east of the Mississippi River. thanks for asking me that question

Who refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger in Montgomery Alabama?

There are 3 women who refused to give up their seats in Montgomery that year.

Claudette Colvin was the first black girl (she was 15 and had just written a school paper about prohibitions on black people trying on clothing in the 'white' section of a department store) to refuse to get up when told she had to. She was arrested and hauled off the bus 9 months before Rosa. She was raped and got pregnant so, in an incident of victim blaming, was denied her chance at being the poster girl for civil rights.

Mary Louise Smith was 18 when she refused to give up her seat and was arrested. She was jailed and fined $9, it was paid by her father. He had a drinking problem so the NAACP passed her up as the poster girl for civil rights.

Rosa, as a secretary for the NAACP, was involved raising money for Claudett's defense 8 months earlier. She was a devout woman and had no dirty laundry in her closet. She was the perfect candidate to advance the bus seating protest.
