The Mississippi has affected the outcome of the civil war.
The River didn't do nothing but flow. However it did play an important role in the war. Rivers were one of the main methods of transportation. They also presented a geographical obstacle for armies---especially rivers that are half mile wide like the Mississippi River.
The importance of the river was recognized by the fact that the Confederates built forts along the river from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico.
