The citizens of Gettysburg were experiencing an invasion for the first time, so there was much alarm, but the battle was lost and the troops soon departed from this prosperous farming state that did not suffer any further invasions.

The citizens of Vicksburg had experienced a 5-week siege, and were reduced to eating rats, before the garrison commander eventually surrendered this key river-port to U.S. Grant.
