The correct response is:
**The Confederate Territory was divided in half.**
The Siege of Vicksburg, which lasted from May 18 to July 4, 1863, was a significant turning point in the Civil War because it gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, effectively splitting the Confederacy in two and disrupting their supply lines and communication.
