Best Answer

Vicksburg (July 63) was the most significant Union victory, as it ended the war in the West, liberated the Mississippi, and isolated all Confederate units to the West of the river - cutting the Confederacy in two.

This reduced the number of battlefronts and enabled Grant to go to the aid of the Army of the Cumberland.

By boosting Grant's credibility, it put him in line for the job of General-in-Chief, which was the key move that ended the war.
