Our system of Capitalism was doomed to fail when it stumbled down the path of unjust enrichment towards monopolies and corporate giants. We need honesty in our Administration, instead of shameless theatrics devised of deceit, misdirection and betrayal. Our citizens have only to ...

It prevented the Union from using the river for shipping between the Union-controlled Midwest and New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico.

It took Grant's army and Admiral David Porter's navy to successfully invade Mississippi and lay siege to Vicksburg, forcing the city to surrender.
