The city that surrendered on July 4, 1863, was Vicksburg, Mississippi. Union General Ulysses S. Grant led a successful campaign to besiege the city, which was a strategic location for control of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War. The surrender of Vicksburg effectively split the Confederacy in two and was a significant turning point in the war.
