Question

The Battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg proved to be turning points of the Civil War. What are at least three reasons this is true?

Answer 1

With the Battle of Vicksburg, the South lost 40,000 solders which would be hard to replace. It opened up the Mississippi river to shipping by the North. That action caused the Northern Rail Roads to lower their rates. It also enabled the North to attack the South from more directions. The Battle of Gettysburg was more of a morale booster than of great military importance. True, it was both a strategic and tactical victory. Still, it did nothing to conquer the South. Yet,it was a fantastic morale booster. It showed that the great Lee was human.
