Union attacked 6 times
They had to abandon its supply lines
This was part of the Anaconda Plan
It worked! The Union starved the city into
submission
Notes de l'éditeur
Hooker boasted “May God have mercy on General lee, for I will have none!”
Vicksburg sat on high bluffs overlooking the river…The Union army attacked the town six times…each time the Confederates repelled them…
Ordered his troops to carry what rations of hard bread, coffee, and sort we can, and make the country furnish the balance.Confederates moved to cut off their supply lines only to find out that Grant had noneBesieged the town for six weeks…the Union forces shelled Vicksburg around the clockFood became so scarce that people ate mules, rats and even family petsConfederate troops had to surrender!
