The Battle of Vicksburg gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, which aided their " Anaconda Plan." The plan was to block all supplies like food and clothing to the Confederate Army. In order to do that, the Union would need to have control of The Mississippi, the ports along the Atlantic Ocean, and the ports along the Gulf of Mexico, and all other major ports of the Confederate control. The Anaconda Plan worked and "suffocated" the Confederacy.
