Answer 1

Here is a web page with info about the Civil War. http://www.civil-war.net/
Maybe you can find some helpful info there.

Answer 2

Fort Wagner had the 54th Massachussets Regiment commanded by Robert Gould Shaw spearhead the attack by the Union army. The significance is that this was an all black regiment in a combat role. The union lost this battle and the regiment was wiped out, to include the death of Col. Shaw.

The battle of Gettysburg was the "turning point" of the Civil War and is significant due to the largest number of casualties on both sides in one engagement.

Vicksburg was one of the last major battles of the Civil War, which gave the Union control of the Mississippi River.

Answer 3

Well first of all, they're battles, not wars. But anyway.
The Battle of Gettysburg stopped the Southern push into the North and they were so srushed that all the North had to do was force them back into the South. Vicksburg won the western theatre of the war for the north.

Answer 4

1st they are separate battle not different wars.
Gettysburg-stopped Lees 2nd invasion of the north. Crushed his forces to the point where they could never mount another huge offensive. and was the turning point in the civil war.

Vicksburg-gave the union total control in the mississppi and coincided with gettysburg. these 2 battle boosted northern morale.

Fort Wagner- I dont know too much about this battle but I think it was the 1st major engagment for african american forces during the civil war where they were allowed to take the lead and they won.
