The correct answer to this open question is the following.

General Grant’s taking of Vicksburg helped the Union complete its goal for the Anaconda Plan in that with the Union troops victory, led by General Ulysess S. Grant, the Union could control the strategic Mississippi River that served to transport people and supplies. The Anaconda Plan of the Union aimed to cut any supply and trade lines for the Confederates. The siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, started on May 18, 1863, and ended on July 4, the same year. I represented a great victory for General Grant and the Union.
