Correct answer: Vicksburg

The Siege of Vicksburg was a critical Union victory that gave them control of the Mississippi River, effectively splitting the Confederacy. The city was so devastated by the siege that its citizens refused to celebrate Independence Day on the Fourth of July for over 80 years. Photo: Thure de Thulstrup, Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
