Although Vicksburg was a success of huge importance, Chancellorsville (a Union defeat) was probably more important for a Union victory for the Civil War. I don't believe the North wins Gettysburg with Jackson on the battlefield. Stonewall would have found a way to take Little Roundtop. I think in all likelihood that a Union defeat at Gettysburg results in a divided nation.

Washington's victory over the mercenary Hessians at The Battle of Trenton may have preserved his army.
