“ Gettysburg, in my mind, was never as consequential as Grant taking Vicksburg.”

Agreed. I think Chattanooga was the most decisive battle of the war. Not only was it a brilliant victory but it convinced Lincoln to give Grant command of the entire Northern forces.

I agree. Chattanooga was the end for the South. Incredible victory for Grant.
