Answer:

The Union was roughly divided into slave states and free states, and there were strong differences between the two parts of the United States; delicate political-legal balances were struck in Congress. Slavery supporters had large influence at the federal and local levels. And equally important, slave labor force was the basis of the South´s economy until the Civil War.

So, keeping slavery was the deep interest of economic and political elites in the South. The Southern economy was mainly agricultural and could not have prospered and continued without large-scale slavery of black people.

In mid-1863 the Union gained control of the entire length of Mississippi River. What strategic advantage did this give the Union

Shalnov [3]

Answer: Some historians believe that the Mississippi River's control was a key factor that decided the victor in the war.

Explanation:

Statistics say that as many as 26 battles were fought around that strategic place during the civil war and countless smaller conflicts. Control of the Mississippi River was one of the key factors in the Civil War. After the Union gained control of the Mississippi River, it gained a huge strategic advantage. In the first place, it divided the Confederation into two parts, and since the communication was flowing along that river, communication with the Confederation was disabled. With this move, the Union also economically weakened the Confederation since there was a huge flow of goods along the river to be disabled. Thus the Confederation was economically in disarray.
