Why did the victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg helpLincoln win reelection?

The victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg in July 1863 were pivotal for President Abraham Lincoln's reelection in 1864 as they marked significant turning points in the Civil War. Gettysburg halted the Confederate invasion of the North, while Vicksburg gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, effectively splitting the Confederacy. These successes bolstered Northern morale and public support for the war effort, shifting the political landscape in favor of Lincoln and the Union cause. Ultimately, these victories helped to validate Lincoln's leadership and policies, making him a more favorable candidate for reelection.


The two major battles of the Civil War fought on Union soil were?

A number of US Civil War battles were fought on Northern soil. The most significant ones were Gettysburg (Pennsylvania, 1863), South Mountain and Antietam (Maryland, 1862), Perryville (Kentucky, 1862), Wilson's Creek (Missouri, 1861), Buffington Island (Ohio, 1863), Monocacy Junction (Maryland, 1864), Fort Stevens (Washington, DC, 1864) and Falling Waters (Maryland, 1863). Gettysburg and Antietam ended Robert E. Lee's two invasions of the North (South Mountain was fought a few days before Antietam). Perryville ended Braxton Bragg's invasion of Kentucky. Wilson's Creek did much to save Missouri for the Union. Buffington Island put an end to John Hunt Morgan's Ohio Raid. Federals under Lew Wallace (who later wrote the epic novel "Ben Hur") slowed Jubal Early's Confederates who were on their way to Washington. Fort Stevens was a minor battle but it ended Early's invasion of the North. Falling Waters took place during Lee's retreat from Gettysburg.
