What was the siege of Vicksburg?
This concerns the Vicksburg campaign in the American Civil War. This campaign occurred later in the War Between the States and was designed to capture the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi. This town, called the Gibraltar of the South, was the one remaining obstacle to total Union domination of the Mississippi River. The actual siege and surrender of Vicksburg occurred from May 18 to July 4, 1863. Major General U.S. Grant commanded the Union forces while Confederate Lieutenant General J.C. Pemberton led the defense of Vicksburg. General Grant made several attempts to attack Vicksburg before finally laying siege to it. The Battle of Champion's Hill was fought outside of Vicksburg, which resulted in General Pemberton bringing his forces into the breastworks around Vicksburg. Vicksburg is located on an area of very rugged, clay bluffs that overlook the Mississippi River. The Confederate guns could fire on any ship that tried to come down the river. One attempt to capture Vicksburg in March of 1863, Grant blew the levee on the Mississippi River just below Memphis and sent iron-clad gunboats and troop ships down the Tallahatchie River which would connect to the Yazoo River and attack the city from the east. This expedition was stopped at Fort Pemberton(at Greenwood, MS) at the juncture of the Tallahatchie & Yazoo Rivers. Custermen
