Major General Earl Van Dorn, commanding Confederate forces around Vicksburg, takes a huge gamble when he orders John C. Breckenridge's Corps to advance south into Louisiana to capture the state capital of Baton Rouge from occupying Union forces from the Department of the Gulf. To assist Breckenridge's troops, Van Dorn also sends the CSS Arkansas down the Mississippi River to support the attack on the city. Can the Confederates retake the state capital in this battle in the bayou and reverse the Union tide in the Pelican State? Or will their bid for Louisiana only end in more setback for the Confederate cause in the Lower Seaboard Theater?
