Vicksburg, Mississippi. There, in the vaunted Gibraltar of the Confederacy, a siege for the ages will cement the reputation of one Union general - and all but seal the fate of the rebel cause. In May 1863, after months of hard and bitter combat, Union troops under the command of Major General Ulysses S. Grant at long last successfully cross the Mississippi River. They force the remnants of Confederate Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton's army to retreat to Vicksburg, burning the bridges over the Big Black River in its path.
