Best Answer

The surrender of Vicksburg was the strategic turning point of the Civil War. With the town in Union hands, the Mississippi River Valley fell under Federal control. The South was no longer able to send troops and supplies via the river, and the North was able to use it as a line of logistical communications. It set the pattern for future campaigns at Chattanooga and Atlanta, further subdividing the South and choking it piecemeal.
