The battle at Raymond changed Grant's plans for the Vicksburg campaign, leading him to first focus on neutralizing the Confederate forces at Jackson before turning against Vicksburg. After successfully capturing Jackson, Grant's men then pivoted west, drove Pemberton's force into the defenses of Vicksburg, and forced a Confederate surrender on July 4, ending the Siege of Vicksburg. The site of the battle was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and public interpretation of a portion of the site is provided by the Friends of Raymond. Modern historians have criticized McPherson's, and to a lesser extent Gregg's, handing of the battle.
