Answer:

Split the Confederacy in two

Step-by-step explanation:

A victory at the siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1863 gave the Union control of the Mississippi River in the American Civil War. ... By having control of the river, Union forces would split the Confederacy in two and control an important route to move men and supplies.
