Capture of New Orleans
The capture of New Orleans (April 25 – May 1, 1862) during the American Civil War was an important event for the Union.

However, the controversial and confrontational administration of the city by its U.S Army military governor caused lasting resentment. This capture of the largest Confederate city was a major turning point and an incident of international importance.
