Why was the capture of vicksburg important to the north

It gave control of the Mississippi river to the Union.  

Further Explanation:

Vicksburg campaign took place during the American civil war and this campaign was initiated by the union forces in order to take the confederate stronghold over Vicksburg, Mississippi and that was laid on the bank of the Mississippi river and this capture proved to be a genius masterstroke by the Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. It all started post the spring of 1862 when the confederates lost Fort Henry as well as Fort Donelson in Tennessee and New Orleans and Vicksburg became the key remaining point of their defense at the Mississippi river.  

The reason that capturing of Vicksburg was so important that it would yield the northern control of the entire course of the river and that would led to enabling it to isolate those confederate states which were there at the west of the river as compared to those at the east.

angel island immigration station was an immigration station located in san francisco bay which worked from 1910 to 1940. the majority of immigrants that got there were from the asian hemisphere, specifically from china, japan, russia, and south asia, being china the country from where more people arrived.

the number of foreigners arriving at it took the attention of americans who feared the new arrivals would take their jobs. the work opportunities were not abundant due to the economic comedown of 1870 and the asians, as newcomers, were willing to work for cheaper wages. soon they started to be seen as a threat, which led to an increased discrimination against the chinese - the biggest ethnicity arrived at this station until 1915 when japanese immigrants outnumbered them - being considered as unsuitable americans hence their looks and social situation.

at the station, the immigrant's detention may vary depending on how long the interrogation process took: it could be weeks, months, or even years.

finally, in 1940 an explosion destroyed administration building located on the island, so the united states government decided to stop the process.
