The Siege of Vicksburg, which was a critical campaign during the American Civil War, lasted for about 47 days, from May 18 to July 4, 1863. General Ulysses S. Grant and his Union forces surrounded the city, cutting off supplies and reinforcements, which ultimately led to the Confederate surrender. This victory gave the Union control of the Mississippi River and was a significant turning point in the war.
