what general won a huge victory at vicksburg?
grant
in january 1863, mcclernand and sherman's combined xiii and xv corps, the army of the mississippi, defeated the confederates at arkansas post. grant made five attempts to capture vicksburg by water routes; however, all failed. with the union impatient for a victory, in march 1863, the second stage to capture vicksburg began. grant marched his troops down the west side of the mississippi river and crossed over at bruinsburg. adm. david d. porter's navy ships had previously made a run past vicksburg's batteries on april 16, 1863, enabling union troops to be transported to the east side of the river. the crossing succeeded due to grant's elaborate series of demonstrations and diversions that masked his intended movements from the confederates. after the crossing, grant maneuvered his army inland, and after a series of battles, the state capital, jackson, mississippi, was captured. confederate general john c. pemberton was defeated by grant's forces at the battles of champion hill and of black river bridge and retreated to the vicksburg fortress. after two unsuccessful and costly assaults on vicksburg, grant settled in for a 40-day siege. pemberton, unable to combine forces with the army of joseph e. johnston, which was hovering in central mississippi, finally surrendered vicksburg on july 4, 1863.
