How did the Siege of Vicksburg affect the South?
Disastrously. They lost their last garrison on the Mississippi, and the valuable use of the great waterway was totally denied to them - with their units to the West of the river cut-off from the rest. It also released Grant's army to join up with the Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, as well as giving Grant enough credibility that he would soon become General-in-Chief of all the Union armies.
What can be said of the Union army during the brutal Wilderness Campaign?
Poor wretches, suffocated by the burning undergrowth, and unable to use their field-guns in dense forest. Yet their morale was not shaken. When Grant ordered them to continue advancing, they set up a big cheer. Incidentally, the Wilderness was a battle, not a campaign. The campaign was the Overland Campaign, a bad mixture of failed assaults and long, soul-destroying months of siege. The only cheerful aspect was the general war situation, tilting in favour of the Union. Grant had ended the system of prisoner-exchange, so the Confederates were doomed to run out of manpower. And Lee was pinned down in a war of attrition that he could never win.

The Cause of the Siege of Vicksburg was that the guns at Vicksburg commanded a strategic position on the Mississippi. Grant had to capture it to have unrestricted use of the Mississippi Valley for his troops, and security from attack in the rear when he turned toward the Deep South.
