1 SydtheKid913 2 years ago.  Why was New Orleans so important during the Civil War A. It was the last Confederate fort on the Mississippi River B. It was a key port for the Confederacy C. It was considered the capital of the Confederacy D. It was where all Confederate military planning occurred. It's not A.
Hence its importance. Points of the river between Vicksburg and Port Hudson were held as dependencies; but their fall was sure to follow the capture of the former place. Vicksburg was important to the enemy because it occupied the first high ground coming close to the river before Memphis. From there a railroad runs east, connecting with other roads leading to all points of the Southern States. A railroad also starts from the opposite side of the river, extending west as far as Shreveport, Louisiana.
