Once the Lower Bay of Mobile is captured MobileUmmmm because Mobile didn't fall until April 12th 1865 after the battles of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely. There is correspondence between Grant and Sherman, A J Smiths division would have launched a mobile campaign after Atlanta if it hadn't been diverted to Missouri in response to Prices Raid
The fall of Mobile in 1865 wasn't that important. Per battlefields.org once the battle of Mobile Bay concluded in August of 1864 with the destruction of the Confederate fleet and the capture of Confederate ports the port of Mobile was effectively blockaded.Ummmm because Mobile didn't fall until April 12th 1865 after the battles of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely.

Price's Raid accomplished nothing useful for the Confederacy. Price's Raid did help the Union cause by causing the death of many Confederate soldiers and guerrillas at the cost of no lost territory for the Union.
