It gave control of the Mississippi river to the Union.  

Further Explanation:

<u> </u>

<u>Vicksburg campaign took place during the American civil war and this campaign was initiated by the union forces in order to take the confederate stronghold over Vicksburg, Mississippi and that was laid on the bank of the Mississippi river and this capture proved to be a genius masterstroke by the Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.</u> It all started post the spring of 1862 when the confederates lost Fort Henry as well as Fort Donelson in Tennessee and New Orleans and Vicksburg became the key remaining point of their defense at the Mississippi river.  

<u>The reason that capturing of Vicksburg was so important that it would yield the northern control of the entire course of the river and that would led to enabling it to isolate those confederate states which were there at the west of the river as compared to those at the east.  </u>

The capture of Vicksburg was important because the city was considered a key point. Lincoln has said that “the war can never be bought to a close until the key is in our pocket”.

To achieve full control of the Mississippi River, the capture of Vicksburg was necessary. When they had control of the river, it was important to the north, because with it they took over and shut down the confederates trade, transportation, and military/fortifications - most of the forts and troops were at Vicksburg and they had to surrender and give the Union 172 artillery pieces-.

A brief summary (At least 10 sentences) of North Carolina's history
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: One of the original 13 colonies, North Carolina was the first state to instruct its delegates to vote for independence from the British crown during the Continental Congress. Following the Revolutionary War, North Carolina developed an extensive slave plantation system and became a major exporter of cotton and tobacco, although the slave population remained relatively small compared to that of other southern states. In 1861, North Carolina became one of 11 states to secede from the United States, beginning the American Civil War. Despite no major battles being fought in the state, North Carolina sent more recruits to fight for the Confederacy than any other rebel state. In 1903, the state became the site of the first manned self-propelled airplane flight when the Wright brothers took off from a cliff near Kitty Hawk.

Mumz [18]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The concept of European nationalism was still in its infancy during the eighteenth century. What the Hapsburg monarchs had done to foster a common national sentiment among the people of the Austrian empire was to create a unity sentiment in the different territories to foster a kind of bond between them and the Austrian monarchy.

The Hapsburg empire constantly grew, as we know the kingdom developed through the years. The monarchy developed effective central administrative states buck what lacked was the sense of identity of the many territories that belonged to the kingdom. That lack of "common bond" did not allow the Hapsburg kings to instill the common culture and traditions in the majority of towns of the kingdom.
