Both battles significantly impacted the course of the war, with Vicksburg ultimately falling to Union forces on July 4, 1863, just days after Gettysburg concluded.

Grant's capture of Vicksburg ended Phase Two of Scott's Anaconda Plan, completing the blockade of the Southern states, preventing the movement of troops and supplies from Texas and Arkansas to the rest of the Confederate states to the East of the Mississippi, placing a choke hold the supplies to the active armies. Within less than two years, the blockade would bring the seceding states to their knees. Though he defeated Lee tactically, Gettysburg represents a lost opportunity for Meade to pursue and destroy Lee's army before it could reach the safety of Virginia, but it did place Lee on a permanent defensive for the rest of the war.
