How did grant draw pembertons attention away from the union?

Grant drew Pemberton's attention away from the Union by employing a strategy of feigned weakness and diversion. While Grant's forces engaged in direct assaults, he also orchestrated movements that suggested a larger threat elsewhere, compelling Pemberton to divert his troops to respond to perceived Union advances. This misdirection ultimately weakened Pemberton's defenses, allowing Grant to gain the upper hand in critical engagements. The successful execution of this strategy was evident during the Siege of Vicksburg, where Grant effectively isolated Pemberton's forces.
