The capture of New Orleans gave the Union control of the lower part of the Mississippi River 3. Why were Union victories in the West and the fall of New Orleans significant to the Union cause? These victories meant that the Union was closer to its goal of splitting the South in two. It also represented a bright spot for the Union which had been losing most of the battles in the east. 4. Why did Lee go on the offense against the North? 1. He hoped a Southern victory in the North would force Lincoln into peace talks. 2.

How did the South’s fortune change after Lee took command of the army of Northern Virginia? Lee was an outstanding general and he led the main Confederate army to numerous victories. 6. What does Lee’s invasion of the North suggest about his qualities as a general and a leader? Daring Made independent decisions. 7. Why was Southern cotton not reaching the factories of Europe?
