Ulysses Grant was finishing the Federal victory at Vicksburg which surrendered on July 4th, 1863.
The two Union victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg happened on the same day. Vicksburg liberated the Mississippi, and ended the war in the West. Gettysburg was Lee's last chance of invading the North. That day (July 4h 1863) is taken as the turn of the tide.
People in the northern states were not directly effected by the Vicksburg campaign.
Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Petersburg were all major Union victories in the American Civil War.
Perhaps the two most important battles the Union won during the US Civil War were the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg. Both occurred in July of 1863, with Gettysburg damaging Lee's army sufficiently enough that he would never again attempt offensive operation into Union soil. This is important since the thrust of the Gettysburg campaign was to alleviate the burden of war on Virginia, which had been the main battleground in the east since 1861. The loss of Vicksburg split the far western Confederacy from the east and thereby impeded the flow of supplies such as cattle and reinforcements from the west to the eastern armies. There were many other Union victories, but these two were the most devastating to the hopes of the Confederate nation.
During the closing days of the Vicksburg Campaign, Lee was engaged in an invasion of Pennsylvania that culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg. One version of events has it that the whole northern invasion was an attempt to draw northern forces away from the Vicksburg area. If so, it was a double failure. It did not draw forces from the West, and it did not succeed on its own.
Shiloh, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Nashville, Appomattox. Antietam and Stones River were not decisive victories, but the Confederates did retreat, so they're counted as Union wins. There were also the naval battles resulting in the liberation of New Orleans and Mobile.
The double win on July 3rd-4th 1863 - Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Vicksburg liberated the Mississippi and ended the war in the West, freeing Grant to assist the Army of the Cumberland in Chattanooga. Gettysburg marked the failure of Lee to invade the North. He would be on the defensive for the rest of the war.
