Explore the Vicksburg campaign and the events surrounding this pivotal time in the American Civil War.

Union General Ulysses S. Grants Vicksburg campaign was the most outlandish maneuver of the American Civil War and included the largest amphibious military approach until the advent of the Second World War. Grant is widely heralded as the first amongst the leaders of modern warfare, and along with a good set of commanders and the considerable Army of the Tennessee, he used his charge on Vicksburg to dominate the Western Theater of the war during the summer of 1863.

The Union held the Confederate troops, which were under the leadership of the tactically inferior General John Pemberton, inside the ramparts of Vicksburg for a punishing six weeks. The town, perched on the high natural bluffs of the eastern Mississippi River, had been fortified to the extent that it was impenetrable, even by the Yankees who outnumbered their foes by four to one upon the Rebels surrender on July 4th.

The Northerners essentially dug in, starved out, and bombarded the Southerners for the most coveted prize of the Mississippi Riverthe strategic node of Vicksburg. Once the Bluecoats were victorious and the Stars and Stripes flew above the town, it was not long before the Union controlled the entire waterway, which was the lifeblood of the Confederacy, as they used it to move soldiers, food, and supplies across their territories. When the federal government gained Vicksburg, they split the Confederacy in two, breaking its backbone between the Trans-Mississippi and Western Theaters.

The Siege of Vicksburg, which happened in tandem with the Battle of Gettysburg that concluded the day before on July 3rd, 1863, is considered the most pivotal moment in the Civil War, as it was the turning point from which the South could never recover.
