2. C.  The victory gave the Union control of the Mississippi River.

Explanation:

When Lincoln had to make the second inaugural address, he was facing the problem that people in the south were not accepting the Union's victory and he made a speech in which he talked about the importance of having a united way of thinking in the country to be able to move forward.

With the General Grant's victory at the Battle of Vicksburg and the Union victory at Port Hudson the Union was able to control the whole Mississippi River and the Confederacy was divided in half.
