The Siege was the final significant battle in the Vicksburg
Campaign of the American Civil War. In a series of skilled
manoeuvres, Ulysses S. Grant and his Army of the Tennessee crossed
the Mississippi River and drove the Confederate army of Lt. Gen.
John C. Pemberton into defensive lines surrounding the fortress
city. Grant besieged the city from May 18 to July 4, 1863, until
it surrendered, yielding command of the Mississippi River to the
Union.
