Geography like hills, elevation, distance, and climate affected the outcomes of the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg because they provided more defense positions. Also, the Union victory of Gettysburg was a result of the Anaconda Plan which allowed them to strategically capture the Mississippi River
