4. CHANCELLORSVILLE
Decisive battle for Confederacy, but the loss of Stonewall Jackson offset the victory.
5. VICKSBURG
Union gained control of the entire Mississippi River after the surrender of Port Hudson as well.
6. GETTYSBURG
Crushing defeat for Confederacy, especially when the fall of Vicksburg took place a day later. Major 1-2 punch.
7. ATLANTA
Crippled Confederate war effort. The victory helped tremendously in Lincoln's re-election in 1864.
