In the West, Ulysses S. Grant was beating the Confederates in battle after battle. Eventually, this resulted in a siege of Vicksburg, a major position on a bend of the Mississippi, and a huge economic staple for the South. On July 3rd, the very day that Pickett's charge failed at Gettysburg and the Confederates made ready to retreat back to Virginia, Grant secured an unconditional surrender from the Confederates at Vicksburg. His victory here weakened Confederates in the West beyond recovery, and Lincoln felt safe enough on that front to bring Grant over to the East and chase down Lee's army.
