Answer:
Gettysburg was fought in northern territory, in Pennsylvania. Encouraged by some previous victories over Union forces, the Army of North Virginia under the command of Gen. Robert E. Lee had invaded the North and its goal was to pressure the government of Abraham Lincoln to negotiate peace. The Battle of Gettysburg went on for three days (July 1-3, 1863). Despite some advances of the first day, the Confederates weren´t able to overrun Federal positions and suffered a crushing defeat. Gettysburg became the bloodiest battle of the Civil War at the time. 165, 620 men engaged in battle on both sides, total casualties of both sides amount to 51, 112. Lee had to withdraw to southern territory and from that moment on, the Confederacy fought on the defensive, never regaining the strategic initiative. That´s the impact of Gettysburg, a turning point in the war.
Vicksburg was a strategic fortress that granted control of the Mississippi River, being the key to penetrate the South. It was a major point with military significance and a neuralgic place for southern trade and the smuggling of weapons to break the Union´s blockade. Gen. Ulysses Grant, commander of the Union´s Army of the Tennessee, attacked and laid siege to Vicksburg. Grant´s campaign started in April 1863. The siege lasted 47 days. Finally, the Confederate forces of Gen. John C. Pemberton finally surrendered on July 4, 1863. The loss of Vicksburg opened the gates of the South and left it vulnerable to the invasion of the Union armies.

Hello. You did not present the battles to which this question refers, nor did you present any text where we could look for an answer. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
To assess which battle had the most balanced number of soldiers on both sides, you need to know the number of soldiers, in each army, that was participating in the conflict. The battle that has the most balanced number, in this case, is the one where the two armies have a very close number of soldiers, or the same number. For example, if in a battle between Army A and Army B, Army A has 1000 soldiers and Army B has 300 soldiers, that battle has an imbalance in relation to the number of soldiers. However, if Army A has 1000 soldiers and Army B has 920 soldiers, we can consider that this battle is in balance, since the number of soldiers in each army is similar and each army will be able to attack and defend at similar intensities.
