Who won Mississippi valley in civil war?

Answer 1

Well, the Union won the war. I read the other day that the region of the Mississippi Valley in western Tennessee was the most fought are of the war. The Union troops came down and captured Fort Donnelson and furhter down to Memphis and drove down to Corinth, MS after the battle of Shiloh. However, Union and Confederate cavalry raids contined in western Tennesse for 2 years. The same was true about portions of the state of Mississippi. Even after the fall of Vicksburg, Confederate forces continued to make raids in areas they had support.
