Answer:

It allowed the Union to focus on fighting in the border states

Explanation:

The capture of Vicksburg was part of the Union's Anaconda Plan to divide the South in two. The city surrended after the 47 days of starving caused by the Union. The surrender of Vicksburg and the victory at Gettysburg were the turning point of the Civil War in favor of the Union as they gained control of the Mississippi from that moment on,  cut the communication between the remaining south blocks and continued  their fight in border states as it was part of  the plan.
