The Siege of Vicksburg affected the balance of power during the Civil War because it ultimately resulted in the Union gaining control of the Mississippi River. This strategic victory effectively split the Confederate territory in half and cut off vital supply routes for the Confederacy. By depriving the South of resources and the ability to move troops and supplies, the Union gained a significant advantage in the war. Additionally, the defeat at Vicksburg weakened Confederate morale and leadership, as several important generals were killed or captured during the siege. This shift in power helped pave the way for eventual Union victory in the Civil War.
