The correct answer is:

**The Confederate Territory was divided in half.**

The Siege of Vicksburg, which took place from May 18 to July 4, 1863, was a significant win for the Union. The capture of Vicksburg effectively divided the Confederate states along the Mississippi River, which impeded their ability to move troops and supplies and significantly altered the balance of power during the Civil War.
