Answer:
Union troops officially take possession of New Orleans, completing the occupation that had begun four days earlier.
The capture of this vital southern city was a huge blow to the Confederacy. Southern military strategists planned for a Union attack down the Mississippi, not from the Gulf of Mexico. In early 1862, the Confederates concentrated their forces in northern Mississippi and western Tennessee to stave off the Yankee invasion. Many of these troops fought at Shiloh in Tennessee on April 6 and 7. Eight Rebel gunboats were dispatched up the great river to stop a Union flotilla above Memphis, leaving only 3,000 militia, two uncompleted ironclads, and a few steamboats to defend New Orleans. The most imposing obstacles for the Union were two forts, Jackson and St. Phillip. In the middle of the night of April 24, Admiral David Farragut led a fleet of 24 gunboats, 19 mortar boats and 15,000 soldiers in a daring run past the forts.

Answer:
Because if the majority of the colonists choose to be Loyalists most likely we would still be under England's rule. Also we probably wouldn't have the land given to us in the Louisana Purchase so a much smaller territory. This means modern day we would probably speak differently, have a complete different culture from now, eat different foods, play different sports as many of America's best inventions heavily define our culture. For example basketball, and hot dogs. Hope this helps :)
