The Trans-Mississippi Department, under command of Lieutenant General Edmund Kirby Smith was widely known as 'Kirby-Smithdom', in reference to the department's size and isolation. This was a result of the losses of New Orleans and Vicksburg, which restored Union control of the Mississippi River, effectively halving the Confederacy's territory. As such the department did not receive much assistance from the Confederate capitol in Richmond.
