The Vicksburg Campaign was a series of maneuvers and battles in the Western Theater of the American Civil War directed against Vicksburg, Mississippi, a fortress city that dominated the last Confederate-controlled section of the Mississippi River. The Union Army of the Tennessee under Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant gained control of the river by capturing this stronghold and defeating Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton's forces stationed there.
“From the inception of the
rebellion the unobstructed
navigation of the Mississippi river was considered of the
first importance. With the army and navy of the Union con-
trolling that great natural highway, the Confederacy would
be cut in two, its forces divided, its vast storehouse to the west
practically closed, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas rendered
almost valueless as recruiting grounds, all of which would be
a serious blow to the Confederacy, while the advantages
gained for the cause of the Union would be of inestimable
value.  At a great number of points along its banks, bases
could be established, supplied
and maintained at a minimum
hazard, from which, as well as by its many navigable, con-
fluent streams, the very heart of the rebellious territory could
be brought under control. On the banks of the Mississippi
were a number of strategic points, which, when fortified and
well defended, effectually closed the navigation of that stream.
“By the winter of 1862 and
1863, all such points had fallen
into our hands excepting Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and Grand
Gulf. Of these, for several reasons, Vicksburg was the most
important and the most difficult of approach. The abrupt
and broken bluffs upon which it stands, the low bottoms of the
Yazoo river on the north, with its chain of lakelets, bayous and
swamps, its almost impenetrable growth of forests, reinforced
with cane brakes, brush and vines, and the several roads and
pathways that led up to the bluffs and high ground which were
heavily fortified against any and all attacks, rendered an
assault from the north or front exceedingly hazardous. Such
being the conditions north of the city. Grand Gulf and Port
Hudson defended it equally as well from the south.”
