In effort to demoralize the south after 1863 where did union forces focus their attacks?
On the two main Confederate armies - the Army of Tennessee under Joe Johnston, and the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. This was the initiative of the new General-in-Chief of the Union armies, Ulysses Grant, who was not interested in occupying territory. He just wanted to destroy the enemy.

What did the union forces decide to attack in their effort to demoralize the south after 1863?
After 1863, Union forces decided to focus their attacks on the Confederate, with the intent of destroying them and preventing the South from resisting Union advances. General Grant ordered five separate attacks. The Army of the Potomac would attack Robert E. Lee in Virginia. General Sherman would attack General Johnston in Northern Virginia, with his ultimate goal being the capture of Atlanta. These were the two primary Confederate armies. Grant also ordered a number of smaller attacks to weaken the Confederate armies by destroying its communications or its supplies. General Crook was to attack the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad. General Sigel was to attack the Shenandoah Valley. General Banks was to attack Mobile, and General Butler was to attack up the James River to threaten Richmond. All of the attacks except for Grant and Sherman's failed. Grant trapped Lee's army at Petersburg while Sherman captured Atlanta.

During the American Civil War, the principle of war that Confederate forces gained initially (at the start of the first day's battle) was the principle of surprise. Having approached the Union positions basically undetected, the Confederates made great gains on the first day with their initial attacks mainly because those attacks came as a complete surprise to most of the Union forces that were engaged.
