The first assault on Vicksburg began on May 19, 1863. The assault failed so Ulysses S. Grant launched another assault on May 22; this time with his full force. The second assault was also a failure. After two failed attacks Grant lay siege to the city on May 25, 1863. After six painful weeks of fighting and starvation Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton surrendered the fortress of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863.
