The largest city in the South that fell to the Union during the American Civil War is New Orleans, Louisiana. Captured in April 1862, its strategic location and port facilities made it a significant asset for the Union forces. The fall of New Orleans marked a turning point in the war, as it disrupted Confederate supply lines and control over the Mississippi River.
