Vicksburg was not so much a battle as a siege. After cutting Vicksburg off from supplies and reinforcements, Grant starved them out, accompanied by constant artillery bombardment. Eventually the inhabitants starved and Pemberton had no choice but to surrender. With that, the Mississippi fell into Union hands, preventing its use for reinforcement and supply to the Southern states East of the Mississippi.

How did Lincoln feel about the victory of the Battle of Gettysburg?
Lincoln felt that the victory of the Battle of Gettysburg had a purpose and that it would be a new start where people would all be equal. He felt the battle was a good thing and that the Union would win the war.
Why did Grant take such an indirect route to Vicksburg when he had been so close in March?
Union attempts to capture the fortress city of Vicksburg, Mississippi was wrought with failures. As late as early part of 1863, four unsuccessful attempts by General Grant to strike Vicksburg from the rear by moving his army on transports through the rivers and bayous to the bluffs north or south of the city were tactics that met with little success. General Grant tried very innovative tactics to solve the problem of Vicksburg. By digging a canal across the mile wide peninsula, Grant hoped to bypass the Vicksburg artillery, move the army on transports and attack the city from the south. Earlier attempts at capturing Vicksburg were attempted by Union Admiral David Farragut. After he had captured New Orleans, he sailed north to Vicksburg but his fleet was repulsed. Grant then believed that a land assault might prove successful if the Confederate forces protecting the city could be drawn away by a battle elsewhere where they were needed. In early November of 1862, Grant decided to attempt this by marching an army of 31,000 troops towards Grand Junction in southern Tennessee. There the town had a railway that Grant thought could provide him to the Mississippi to a landing point south of Vicksburg. Grant planned to link up with a sizable army under General Sherman. Despite the best intentions, Vicksburg did not fall. A series of maneuvers by Grant and Sherman still were unable to launch an offensive attack on the well fortified city. Finally by cutting off the supply lines to Vicksburg, Grant lay siege to the city. In summary, the assaults on Vicksburg began in 1862 and it held out until July 4th 1863. The fall of Vicksburg was an important victory for the Union. The length of time it took for the Union's river and land campaigns on a city that even Lincoln deemed to be essential, was not a good sign for the power & leadership of the Union's campaign.
Who fought in the Battle of Vicksburg what were important things that happend in the battle of vicksbug?
The Vicksburg Campaign was a long campaign where the Union forces moved ships and troops around Vicksburg in order to get into position. In May 1863, the Battle of Champion's Hill caused the Confederates to retreat back into the defenses of Vicsburg, which began a month-long siege of the city. Five times General Grant tried to attack Vicksburg and break through the defenses and all failed unil his final assault. The campaign has a lot of detailed history. I would recommend you check out the TIME-LIFE book on Vicksburg. It is not that thick and has good history with maps and such. Or you could try s book by Wiley Sword that is a 2-volume history of the entire Vicksburg Campaign.
