Vicksburg
It was Gen Ulysses S. Grant's July 1863 victory at the Battle of Vicksburg that cut the Confederacy in half. Vicksburg, Mississippi was the only remaining Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River, so Grant's victory gave the Union control of the lower Mississippi River, along with splitting the South in two by cutting Richmond off from the Western half of the Confederacy

Many casaul historians continue to believe that the capture of Vicksburg, Mississippi "cut the Confederacy in half". This is a false idea simply based on the fact that only three of the eleven Rebel states were west of the Mississippi and Louisiana was already partially occupied by Union troops that were garrisoned in New Orleans. Based on logistics and military positions of the Southern forces, the so-called "cut in half" premise ignores the facts of the importance of the fall of Vicksburg in 1863.
