I think it was the past with Britain where only one person had complete power. This did not allow people to have a say, which was the reasons why the 13 colonies rebelled. Including the right of the people to revolt against a tyrannical government would protect the fundament of the united states government which was to give the people power and to make sure the US would not become something similar to Britain.
It was a strategic point in the Tennessee River. The union wanted to gain control of the tributaries that flowed into the Mississippi River. Southern troops were not defending this place. It was a stronghold protecting the North.
Arguably it became a agrarian society
