When Louisiana seceded from the Union on January 26, 1861, no one
doubted that a battle to control the Mississippi River was
imminent. Throughout the war, the Federals pushed their way up the
river. Every port and city seemed to fall against the force of the
Union Navy. The capitol was forced to retreat from Baton Rouge to
Shreveport. Many of the smaller towns, like Bayou Sara and
Donaldsonville, were nearly shelled completely off the map. It was
not until the Union reached Port Hudson that the Confederates had a
fighting chance to keep control of the mighty Mississippi. They
fought long and hard, under supplied and under manned, but
ultimately the Union prevailed.
