Which civil war battle was the most significant?
Either of the two Union victories that were announced on a jubilant Fourth of July 1863 - Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Gettysburg represented the end of Lee's glory days. Neither he nor his army was ever the same again. Vicksburg ended the war in the West, and gave Grant the credibility to become General-in-Chief. I would cite Vicksburg, as it enabled the Union to concentrate its armies. But Gettysburg was undoubtedly a major psychological blow to the Confederacy as a whole.
Union victories in the summer of 1863?
Perhaps the two most important battles the Union won during the US Civil War were the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg. Both occurred in July of 1863, with Gettysburg damaging Lee's army sufficiently enough that he would never again attempt offensive operation into Union soil. This is important since the thrust of the Gettysburg campaign was to alleviate the burden of war on Virginia, which had been the main battleground in the east since 1861. The loss of Vicksburg split the far western Confederacy from the east and thereby impeded the flow of supplies such as cattle and reinforcements from the west to the eastern armies. There were many other Union victories, but these two were the most devastating to the hopes of the Confederate nation.

What was the strategic importance of Grant's victories for the union?
Grant's victories in the West meant that Lee could be isolated to Northern Virgina and worn down without other armies coming to his relief. When he became the overall commander, his victories led to Lee's surrender.
Who was the union general who fought at Shiloh and Vicksburg and burnt down the city of Atlanta?
That general was William Tecumseh Sherman. He was one of General Grant's lieutenants at Shiloh and Vicksburg, and was the overall commander of the combined Union armies at Atlanta.
Was Ulysses S. Grant the Union commander at the Battle of Gettysburg?
No, he was not connected with either of the Bull Run battles. He was over in the West until the liberation of the Mississipi in July 1863, and then at Chattanooga. In March 1864, he was appointed General-in-Chief of all the Union armies.
How did events in Vicksburg place the confederate and union armies on the road to Gettysburg?
That did not happen. The widely-separated Union triumphs at Vicksburg (on the Mississippi) and Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) were announced on the same day, July 4th 1863, and led to Grant's relief of the Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, saving it from starvation and capture. Before long, he would be promoted General-in-Chief of the Union armies. It is possible that you meant to ask 'How did events on the road to Gettysburg impact on the Vicksburg campaign?' Lee did consider sending part of his army to Vicksburg, and postponing his invasion of Pennsylvania, but decided against it.
What caused the Union war efforts to lose momentum in the second half of 1863?
Northern troops had the chance to take advantage of their victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg in the latter half of 1863. Also, the Confederates were forced out of Chattanooga. The Southern armies were in retreat or in strictly defensive postures. Instead of pressing on in some form in these areas, they focused on what can be called secondary targets that the South could afford to lose. This lack of using their power by the Union gave the South extra time to reorganize and resupply their armies.
Did the south have frequent victories over the union armies?
