Why was the fall of Vicksburg Mississippi important? (Civil War question for history)?
The capture of Vicksburg meant the Union controlled the whole elngth of the Mississippi river,which effectively cut the Confederacy in two.
The East was cut off from Texas beef and Louisiana salt (needed for preservation of food in the field), and the West from eastern manufactures and imports from blockade runners. It also meant that strategic troop reinforcement of one theatre by another was now extremely difficult for the Confederacy.
