It took 30,000 Confederates out of uniform.
It liberated the Mississippi, denying the Confederates any use of the river.
It isolated all Confederates to the West of the river till the end of the war.
It cleared the whole region, so that Grant and Sherman could head East to join up with the Army of the Cumberland in Chattanooga.
And crucially, it gave Grant the credibility to be promoted to the job of General-in-Chief.
