Why was the fall of Vicksburg Mississippi significant?

It ended the Confederate threat around Washington, D.C. Vicksburg was the main port on the Mississippi river and the main supply point for the Confederate armies in that area. The taking of Vicksburg by the Union army effectively cut the supply lines desperately needed by the Confederates. It had little to nothing to do with the Confederate assault on D.C.
