Hi!

The answer is A, taking control over the Mississippi River.

Controlling the Mississippi River during the American Civil War was an economic and psychological factor for both the North and the South. Therefore, the Mississippi River was a key to defeat the Confederacy in the Civil War and the Union tried their best to take control of it.
