There was no single battle that turned the tide of the Civil War to the Union. Every battle won by the Union furthered its cause of ending the secession of the Southern States. There were, however, some significant battles that the Union won that when combined, together, made the Confederacy unable to continue. Here is a summary of battles won by the Union that taken in totality proved noteworthy: A. Defensive battle in 1864 that kept the capital of Tennessee, Nashville, in Union hands. Nashville was a Confederate city that could produce products for the war for the South because of its manufacturing base; B. Capture of Vicksburg. It took two separate battle campaigns to capture this crucial city in Mississippi, which controlled part of the Mississippi River, had rail links to carry its food and war supplies to the Confederacy; C. Capture of Richmond. This forced the Confederate central government to disperse. It was also a manufacturing city; D. Capture of Atlanta. This was Southern city that believed would not be part of the War. It was a psychological victory as the city was a large one; E. Battle of Gettysburg. This battle occurred as the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee was on its way to attack the capital of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg.
