The Union won three decisive battles, which swung the advantage to its side: 1 - The Battle and Siege of Vicksburg, which, after a campaign lasted from May19 through July 4, 1863, led to the surrendering of the Confederate fortress and the capture of the besieged Pemberton's Army, followed on July 9 by the surrendering of Port Hudson. The Mississippi River was then under complete control of the Union. 2 - The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863. 3- The Third Battle of Chattanooga, fought from October 26 through November 25 1863, which opened the way to the invasion of Georgia.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. NEW RESPONDENT The Battle of Salineville in Columbiana County, Ohio, fought on July 26,1863 between CSA Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan's Confederate raiding forces and USA Brig. Gen. James Schackelford's pursuing forces. The battle was a decisive Union Victory and Morgan was taken prisoner. Another Confederate raid took place at St. Albans Vermont, farther north than the Battle of Salineville, but as the raiding force were not an official unit of the Confederate Army it cannot be taken into consideration in this subject
