Vicksburg Campaign (Divine, 2007)

Textbook
Robert A. Divine et al., eds., The American Story, 3rd ed. (2 vols., New York: Pearson Education, Inc., 2007), 1: 398.
In the West, however, a major Union triumph was taking shape. For more than a year, General Ulysses S. Grant had been trying to put his forces in position to capture Vicksburg, Mississippi, the almost inaccessible Confederate bastion that kept the North from controlling the Mississippi River. Finally, in late March 1863, he crossed to the west bank north of the city and moved his forces to a point south of it, where he joined up with naval forces that had run the Confederate batteries mounted on Vicksburg’s high bluffs.
The American Story

Battle of Gettysburg

The Army of the Potomac, under its new commander George Meade, raced to intercept Lee's Army of Northern Virginia as it invaded Pennsylvania.  The two armies met at Gettysburg in Adams County and over three days fought the largest engagement of the Civil War. That Meade held the best defensive positions was critical and the Confederate Army was defeated and forced to withdraw back across the Potomac. The pivotal battle also produced the largest toll of the war, with the Union suffering 23,000 casualties and the Confederates around 28,000. (By John Osborne)
