1. siege of vicksburg

   The Siege of Vicksburg was a significant battle during the American Civil War which took place from May 18 to July 4, 1863. This battle took place in and around Vicksburg, Mississippi, a strategic port city on the Mississippi River. Union forces, led by Major General Ulysses S. Grant, surrounded and besieged the city, which was defended by Confederate troops under the command of Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton. After a fierce battle and more than six weeks of siege, Pemberton surrendered to Grant, resulting in a critical victory for the Union. This win gave the Union control over the Mississippi River, splitting the Confederacy and paving Grant's path to the presidency.

1. Siege of Vicksburg

   The Siege of Vicksburg was the final major military action in the Vicksburg Campaign of the American Civil War. In a series of maneuvers, Union Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his Army of the Tennessee crossed the Mississippi River and drove the Confederate Army of Vicksburg led by Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton into the defensive lines surrounding the fortress city of Vicksburg, Mississippi. When two major assaults against the Confederate fortifications were repulsed with heavy casualties, Grant decided to besiege the city beginning on May 25. With no reinforcement, supplies nearly gone, and after holding out for more than forty days, the garrison finally surrendered on July 4. This action yielded command of the Mississippi River to the Union forces, who would hold it for the rest of the conflict. The Confederate surrender following the siege at Vicksburg is sometimes considered, when combined with Gen. Robert E. Lee's defeat at Gettysburg by Maj. Gen. George G. Meade the previous day, the turning point of the war. It also cut off communication with Confederate forces in the Trans-Mississippi Department for the remainder of the war.
