The Battle of Vicksburg gave the Union control of the Mississippi River.
During the American Civil War, two battles in particular helped the Union gain control of the Mississippi River. The first took place in 1862 and culminated in the capture of New Orleans by Union forces. The second took place in 1863 and ended with the Union capture of Vicksburg (Mississippi).

The Union's forces ate horses, dogs, and anything else that they could find, including mice.
Even though it is usually overshadowed by the Battle of Gettysburg, the Siege of Vicksburg is the real turning point of the war.
