"In 1941... The residents of Vicksburg, Mississippi, celebrated the Fourth of July for the first time since July 4, 1863, when the Siege of Vicksburg ended with a Union victory during the American Civil War." That according to: http://dcpages.com/Tourism/Fourth_of_July/ The Siege of Vicksburg was hard fought, and left a bitter taste in the people's mouths. I understand that the first official celebration of Independence Day came as a result of WWII.
During the American Civil War, the leadership of General Ulysses S. Grant was indeed one of the "shift" factors that led to Northern success in 1863 and beyond. In the Western Theater, Grant led Union forces to a great victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Soon, in the Eastern Theater, he squared off with General Robert E. Lee in what would prove to be a grueling but ultimately successful series of campaigns that would finally end the war entirely. Grant did not become general in chief until 1864. Vicksburg fell after a long siege. This required no brilliance. Just many troops to cut off supplies and Confederate troops to help Vicksburg.

Whatever they could find to eat- including rats.
You need to define the term more carefully. The most strategically decisive victory for the North was the surrender of Vicksburg. That closed off the Mississippi Valley to Southern traffic, preventing the movement of troops and supplies on the part of the South, and allowing it on the part of the North.
It did nothing
