What Union victory enabled them to control the Mississippi River?
By capturing Vicksburg, the last major river-port in Confederate hands. It was almost impossible to attack the high-lying town from the West bank where Grant had been ordered to march against his will. Through brilliant diversionary tactics, he was able to cross the river downstream, without the commander of the garrison noticing. Then he brought the Confederates to battle, helped by the bad situation of the garrison commander, who was receiving conflicting orders. It should be noted that the siege on Vicksburg was the Union's third and final attempt to capture this important city.

What is the conclusion for the siege of Vicksburg?
The siege of Vicksburg ended when the Confederate Forces ran out of food. "First we ate the cows. Then we ate the horses. Then we ate the mules. Then we ate the dogs. Then we ate the cats. Then we ate the rats. When there was nothing else to eat we went hungry. Finally we surrendered." The Union forces captured Vicksburg. 40,000 Confederate solders surrendered. The Mississippi River was opened for Union sipping from Illinois to New Orleans. It became difficult to supply Confederate Armies east of the Mississippi River with supplies and livestock from west of the Mississippi. The Union Army did not need to defeat the Confederate Army west of the Mississippi but it only needed to prevent it from sending supplies east of the Mississippi. As a result, the Union Army could concentrate its forces east of the Mississippi.
