	Arkansas Post
		Fort Hindman and supporting earthworks were constructed at Arkansas Post, 50 miles up the Arkansas River from its confluence with the Mississippi, during the fall of 1862.
		The Battle of Arkansas Post is nationally significant, because the Union victory on January 11, 1863, eliminated a significant impediment to Federal shipping on the Mississippi River, strengthened the Northern supply line, and contributed to the eventual Confederate surrender of Little Rock and Vicksburg.
		Thus, Arkansas Post was not only a major battle that had an observable influence on the outcome of the Vicksburg campaign, but it was also a significant battle that had an observable impact on the direction and final outcome of the Civil War.
