Which civil war battle was the most significant?
Either of the two Union victories that were announced on a jubilant Fourth of July 1863 - Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Gettysburg represented the end of Lee's glory days. Neither he nor his army was ever the same again. Vicksburg ended the war in the West, and gave Grant the credibility to become General-in-Chief. I would cite Vicksburg, as it enabled the Union to concentrate its armies. But Gettysburg was undoubtedly a major psychological blow to the Confederacy as a whole.
What was grant's slaughter pen?
To Ulysses Grant, his "slaughter pen" was either one or both assaults made at Vicksburg, Mississippi in May of 1863 or the second assault he ordered at Cold Harbor in June of 1864. In his memoirs he wrote: "I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor was ever made. I might say the same thing of the assault of the 22nd of May, 1863, at Vicksburg. At Cold Harbor no advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained. Indeed, the advantages other than those of relative losses, were on the Confederate side." The Cold Harbor attack resulted in between 3,000 and 7,000 casualties in the space of forty minutes. The fight at Vicksburg saw the Federals loose 3,199 men over six hours.
