The War in the West
The Union western strategy was to gain control of the Mississippi River.
General Ulysses S. Grant
• The most important Union General in the West. Was later put in charge of the Eastern Theater by Abe Lincoln. Would become a president.
David Farragut
• A Union naval officer who captured New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Natchez.
The Siege of Vicksburg
• The city’s population was starving and in despair.
When Grant and the Union finally defeated Vicksburg, control of the
Mississippi belonged to the Union.
Cherokee Indians fought on the side of the Confederacy because some of them were
slave-owners and others thought they would
get better treatment from the Confederacy.
