Why would each side want control of the Mississippi River? What did it have to offer?

In 1862, Confederate forces enjoyed a string of impressive victories in Virginia, each over a different Union general. Supporting examples: 1. Confederates turned back General George B. McClellan at the Seven Days Battle. 2. Defeated General John Pope at the Second Battle of Bull Run 3. Defeated General Ambrose Burnside at Fredericksburg. 4.
