Daniel Boone lead settlers through the 'Cumberland Gap' to forge the 'Wilderness Trail' to open up travel to the west.
It became a large water system for Indian's westward movement.
The secession of the upper-South was so important to the Confederacy for the following reasons: Virginia assured the control of a part of the Ohio River's line and the northeastern part of the Allegheny Tennessee assured the control over the Southwestern part of the Allegheny , the important gaps of Cumberland and Rossville and covered the vital railroad connection Memphis- Chattanooga-Knoxville-Lynchburg-Richmond. Furthermore it would have been possible to build forts where the Tennessee River and Cumberland run at a distance of no more than roughly 20 kilometers each other, thus preventing an invading force to come through that gap. Arkansas and Tennessee assured the control of many kilometers of the River Mississippi.

No, the Jamestown settlers did not cross the Cumberland Gap. Jamestown, established in 1607, was located in Virginia along the James River, while the Cumberland Gap is a mountain pass located further west in the Appalachian Mountains. The gap became significant later in American history for westward expansion, particularly in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Jamestown settlers primarily focused on establishing their colony and navigating the surrounding areas rather than crossing into the Appalachian region.
