After the defeats at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the Northern tactic of engaging in total war, exemplified by General William Tecumseh Sherman's "March to the Sea," helped bolster Southern morale by unifying the civilian population against a common enemy. The destruction of infrastructure and resources by Union forces made the South feel the harsh realities of war, fostering a sense of resilience and determination to resist. This tactic, while demoralizing in the short term, paradoxically galvanized Southern sentiment and commitment to the Confederate cause.

What three battles helped turn the tide of the war?

Three pivotal battles that helped turn the tide of the American Civil War were the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of Vicksburg, and the Battle of Antietam. Gettysburg, fought in July 1863, marked a significant defeat for the Confederacy, halting their invasion of the North. Vicksburg, also in July 1863, gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, effectively splitting the Confederacy. Antietam, fought in September 1862, was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history and provided President Lincoln the political capital to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.


What are three important events in 1863 that helped the union win the war?

Siege of Vicksburg - ending the war in the west. Battle of Gettysburg - ending Lee's hopes of invading the North. Battle of Chattanooga - saving the Army of Cumberland from starvation, and giving Grant the credibility to become General-in-Chief.


Why did the sherman's march want to split the confederacy in two?

It didn't split the Confederacy in two. It was a punitive raid of destruction that simply helped to destroy the Southern economy and starve the Confederate armies in the field. Splitting the Confederacy in two is what Grant (and Sherman) achieved earlier in the Siege of Vicksburg, which ended with the liberation of the Mississippi.
