Possibly more significant victory for the union than Gettysburg which was going on at the same time!

Vicksburg was just brutal. But then again, it is the civil war.

Grant's Vicksburg campaign is still recognized as one of the most brilliantly planned and executed. I remain amazed at the timing that at this very hour, Lee was sending 15,000 of his troops up Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg. Perhaps the most important 12 hour of the war.

And the Fourth of July was celebrated in Vicksburg the next day. It was not celebrated in Vicksburgh again until 1944.
