Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi
'Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi' Summary
The Vicksburg campaign was a pivotal victory for the Union in the American Civil War. The campaign began in December 1862, when Ulysses S. Grant led his army down the Mississippi River to attack Vicksburg, Mississippi. The city was a major Confederate stronghold, and its capture would give the Union control of the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy in two. Grant's army besieged Vicksburg for over two months, and the city finally surrendered on July 4, 1863. The victory at Vicksburg was a major turning point in the war, and it helped to lead to the Union's eventual victory.Book Details
