thankful for union victories at Vicksburg & Gettysburg.
Gettysburg, Vicksburg, the Battle of Chattenooga, and the Battle of Pettersburg. You could argue that that the battle of Antietam was also a key victory as it gave Abraham Lincoln the grounds to issue his preliminary emancipation proclamation, but Antietam was not a stunning victory for the North.
The Confederate losses at Gettysburg and Vicksburg occurred at almost the same time. They tended to weaken the resolve of the Southern commanders. It was shown that the South could fight on Northern soil anymore at Gettysburg and the loss at Vicksburg showed the South that North could attack them with impunity.
The two great victories of Gettysburg and Vicksburg, announced to a jubilant Northern public on July 4th 1863. Gettysburg ended Lee's hopes of invading the North, both for provender and for credibility with possible foreign allies as an army of invasion. Vicksburg liberated the Mississippi, and ended the war in the West. However, this did not make victory automatic. The next year was Election Year, and if Lincoln were voted-out, there would probably have been a compromise peace, with slavery allowed to continue in some form. Northern morale was low until several Union victories (not by Grant) saved Lincoln's reputation just in time.
Gettysburg was 1-3 of July 1863 and Vicksburg surrendered the 4th of July. But the Battle of Vicksburg was a siege that lasted about 5 weeks. If the question is which began first, then it would be Vicksburg. Gettysburg ended first. Both were fought in 1863 and the resulting loss of both battles was very demoralizing to the Southern states.

Most urgently to keep the British from helping the Confederates. (They could not do so after this, without looking pro-slavery.) In this, he succeeded. He was also hoping to revive Northern morale by turning it into a crusade against slavery. This did not really work, if the mid-term electrions were anything to go by. Northern morale started reviving only after battlefield victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg.
