That was Chickamauga - important, yes, as it was a shattering defeat for the Union. Yet it was not, in the end, decisive, because it failed to restore the reputation of the unpopular Confederate commander Braxton Bragg. And soon afterwards, Grant was able to rescue the Army Of the Cumberland at Chattanooga. Later, the Confederates won major battles, such as The Wilderness and Coldharbour. But again, these did not impact on the final result, because Grant had managed to corner Lee's army (from where they would never break out), and also taken the crucial step of ending the system of prisoner-exchange, so that the Confederates were bound to run out of men first.

What was one of the reasons that General Lee did not send troops to help defend Vicksburg Mississippi in 1863?
General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was in the process of recovering from its victory at Chancellorsville. Although his victory there against Union Major General Joseph Hooker and the Army of the Potomac was one of the most successful battles in which a heavily outnumbered force defeated a Union army that had a two to one advantage, Lee's victory did result in large casualties.Lee reasoned that sending troops from Virginia to Mississippi would be a wasted effort. And, often overlooked was Lee's belief that sending troops westward would significantly weaken the Army of Northern Virginia. He would then be forced to fall back and protect Richmond. The end result would be a siege on two important cities instead of one. Lee was aware that the Army of the Potomac still had enough troops to plan an assault on the Rebel capital.
