What were the key military victories of the north and south during the civil war?
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.
What was US Civil War Battle of Big Black River Bridge important?
The Battle of Big Black River Bridge was fought on May 17, 1863 in Mississippi. It was an important Union victory in that the Confederate forces were forced to leave the field and take refuge in the City of Vicksburg. No Southern army could rescue Vicksburg and Union General US Grant began a siege on Vicksburg which would cause Vicksburg to surrender on July 4, 1863.
Why was captain Vicksburg important to the union?
There was no captain named Vicksburg in the civil war, so no person of that name could have been important to the union or anybody else. Perhaps you are thinking of the battle of Vicksburg, which was critical.
Which battle in the civil war contributed most to the union's victory?
It could be either of Gettysburg or Vicksburg - perhaps the very fact that they happened on the same day, and that Confederate troops could not have been sent from one war-zone to another very distant one, to relieve the situation at either end.
What battle meant that a northern victory way only a matter of time in the civil war?
You could say Gettysburg - remembering that Vicksburg happened on the same day (July 3rd 1863). But there was always the prospect of Lincoln losing the Presidential Election of November 1864. From that angle, you could say it was the Battle of Atlanta (August-Sept. 1864), although ironically this was not a victory, according to US Grant, who had ordered Sherman to destroy the Army of Tennessee - which had got safely out of Atlanta.
Which battle turned the tide of the civil war?
You could argue that there were two major battles in the war. The battle of Vicksburg was the major turning point. The battle of New Orleans sealed the deal for the North.

What was the Northern victory in 1863 that split the south into two parts?
The fall of Vicksburg was the victory. The Union forces from the South were able to connect with the forces from the North and divide the Confederacy in two. They could no longer count on supplies from the western states.
