By Michael B. Ballard. When Vicksburg fell to Union troops on July 4, 1863, the Confederacy lost its last chance to control the Mississippi River. Control of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War was an economic and psychological factor for both the North and the South.For many years, the river had served as a vital waterway for mid-western farmers shipping their goods to the eastern states by way of the Gulf of Mexico.ontrol of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War was an economic and psychological factor for both the North and the South.

Electricity does not flow. Current flow. And the flow of current is due to flow of electrons. Direction of flow of current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Electricity or electric current do not flow. Electric current is development of electric fields in perpendicular planes at all points along axis of a conductor.
Report Abuse. electricity is voltage and it carry's current which is then used to power applices. it is used to charge capacitors to relise power slowly. there are two types of electricity. one is DC and one is AC. in DC the voltage can only travel from + to -. and in AC it can travel either way.lectricity is only used when it is applied to a load, i.e. a resitance, an object like a lightbulb, tv...etc. You actually pay for the kilowatt hour from the electric company. That means 1000 watts used for 1 hour.
