A great deal - made more welcome, as the news of both victories was announced on the Fourth of July.

The fall of Vicksburg liberated the Mississippi, and spelt the end of the war in the West, cutting off all Confederates on the right bank of the river.

The Confederate defeat at Gettysburg put an end to Lee's hopes of invading Pennsylvania, gaining credibility abroad, and threatening Washington DC.
