By 1863, the Confederate hold on the Mississippi River was limited to Vicksburg and Port Hudson-- both strong bastions-- difficult to overcome. In a daring move, U.S. Grant, commanding the Union forces, sent his troops past Vicksburg and landed to the south of the city. Grant's troops then defeated Confederate forces in five separate engagements. After a 6 week seige, Confederate forces surrendered. Learn more at http://www.historycentral.com/CivilWa...
