Question

What two battle were decisive battles that enable the union to win yhe civil war?

Answer 1

The two decisive battles were the battles of Vicksburg and Gettysburg.

Explanation:

The south still had a good chance of winning their independence in early 1863. After the two battles of Vicksburg, and Gettysburg the south had no chance of winning their independence militarily.

The battle of Gettysburg fought from July 1 - July 3 could have won the war for the south. The heavy losses suffered by the army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg made it impossible for the south to launch any further offensive campaigns. The only hope for the south was that the north would just get tired.
