What victory in the West Was most valuable to the Union why?

The Union's victory at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 was the most valuable in the West, as it marked a turning point in the Civil War. This decisive defeat of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army halted his invasion of the North and boosted Union morale significantly. Furthermore, it set the stage for the Union's subsequent victories in the West, ultimately leading to the capture of key strategic locations, including Vicksburg. Together, these victories helped to weaken the Confederacy's resources and resolve.
