The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, was a pivotal clash in the American Civil War between Union and Confederate forces, marking a turning point by halting General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North. Vicksburg, besieged from May 18 to July 4, 1863, was a strategic stronghold on the Mississippi River; its capture by Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant effectively split the Confederacy and gave the Union control of the river. Together, these victories significantly boosted Northern morale and shifted the war's momentum in favor of the Union.
