The Union (under General George Meade) won, more or less, at Gettysburg. They were able to stop the southern invasion, but were not able to break up the Army of Northern Virginia.
The Union (under General Ulysses S Grant) won at Vicksburg. The same day that Lee decided to retreat from Gettysburg, July 4, 1863, the garrison at Vicksburg surrendered to Grant. This battle was a clear victory for the Union forces and was extremely important in the eventual victory of the war.

∙ 8y agoThe two things that the battles of Gettysburg and the siege of Vicksburg have in common was that they were both Union victories and they happened almost the same time. They were basically different in that Gettysburg was an open field battle. The early attempts at seizing Vicksburg were failures. Only a siege became possible to force the city to surrender.
