How did Gettysburg & Vicksburg affect the Civil War? The ’Burgs How did Gettysburg & Vicksburg affect the Civil War?

Gettysburg Dates: July 1-3, 1863 State: Pennsylvania Causes: Lee wanted to fuel Northern discontent and force calls for peace A Confederate victory in the North would prove the Confederates could win the war and gain support/recognition from Europe Confederate troops looking for shoes/supplies ran into Union troops on their way to Harrisburg (a railroad center) Both sides called for reinforcements

Wesley Culp 2nd Virginia David Culp 87th Pennsylvania

Gettysburg Cool stuff: Bloodiest battle of CW 51, 000 casualties (dead and wounded) North – 23,000 South – 28,000 Pickett’s Charge Lee ordered General Pickett to attack the middle of the Union line with 13,000 men. The attack was a disaster and the Confederacy was forced to retreat “High Water Mark of the Rebellion” – the farthest north Confederates ever went Aerial sketches of troop movement from hot-air balloons

Gettysburg Winner: Union (Lee retreated to Virginia) Effects: Again, Union generals did not follow Lee’s army to finish them off Lee’s hopes for Confederate victory in the North were crushed Britain gave up all thought of supporting the South Tide of war turned in favor of the North

Siege of Vicksburg Dates: May 1863 – July 4, 1863 State: Mississippi Causes: Vicksburg was the last major Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River – controlling it would complete the Anaconda Plan Direct Union attacks failed, so Grant’s troops surrounded the city to cut off the delivery of food and supplies

Siege of Vicksburg Winner: Union Effects: Cool stuff: Union had complete control of the Mississippi River The South was split in two (Anaconda Plan) Tide of war turned in favor of the North Britain gave up all thought of supporting the South Cool stuff: Confederates ate mules, dogs, and rats out of desperation once they ran out of food
