尤利塞斯·格蘭特 (Ulysses S. Grant) 將軍試圖奪下密西西比州的威克斯堡 (Vicksburg) :1863519

在內戰期間,密西西比州的威克斯堡是南方聯盟一個重要,而且戒備森嚴的堡壘。在1863519日,聯邦軍隊在格蘭特將軍的率領之下,長驅直入準備攻下這座堡壘。聯邦海軍當時已經成功的防止其他軍團前來援助南方聯盟駐守在威克斯堡的潘伯頓 (C. Pemberton) 將軍,但是威克斯堡的防守還是固若金湯。雖然格蘭特將軍久攻不下,但他卻一直沒有放棄。


Vicksburg, Mississippi, was an important, well-protected fortress for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. On May 19, 1863, Union General Ulysses S. Grant attacked Vicksburg--a direct assault with intent to take over the city. The Union navy had already prevented other regiments from joining Confederate General C. Pemberton at Vicksburg, but the Southern city held strong that day. Grant, however, did not stop there.
