Ulysses S. Grant was the general who was responsible for taking the Mississippi River. During the Vicksburg Campaign, Grant gained control of the river, a major Confederate defeat. Grant and Confederate Lt. General Pemberton clashed in the Battle of Vicksburg.

Vicksburg is the answer.

Yes, by taking the Missouri River to the Mississippi River.
The lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen from the air we breathe. Oxygen is then transferred from the lungs into the bloodstream to be carried to all the cells in the body.
Northern success in the Siege of Vicksburg was important because the Union had a plan called the anaconda plan. The anaconda plan is when the Union planned to cut the Confederacy in half. By doing this, the Confederacy would not have any way to obtain (get) supplies (food, clothes, weaponry, etc.) When the siege of Vicksburg was a success, the Union was able to carry out the anaconda plan since the Mississippi River is in Vicksburg, and by taking over the Mississippi River, that split the Confederacy into two.

The original Anaconda Plan presented by US General Scott, had the value of taking control of the nations major river, the Mississippi River. It was a river of major economic ports and shipping. It was rejected at first. Later, without calling it the Anaconda Plan, the Union took control of the Mississippi River. By doing this the Confederate states laying to the west of the river were cut off from the eastern states of the Confederacy. It was not exactly "one half" but to a degree hurt the Confederate economy and its military power.
