Two extremely important Civil War battles were fought in July of 1863.

One was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. That was the point when the Union Army showed that it had finally figured out the tactics it could use to defeat Lee.

The other battle was in Vicksburg, Mississippi. General Grant captured Vicksburg and the North split the South in half. The part of the South west of the Mississippi could neither send men nor supplies to the armies east of the Mississippi. Also 40,000 irreplaceable Confederate troops surrendered.
