About this listen

Join us as we delve into the critical Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War, which unfolded between December 1862 and July 1863. This decisive victory for the Union, led by the strategic brilliance of General Ulysses S. Grant, not only secured control of the Mississippi River but also propelled Grant to command all Union forces at President Lincolns behest. Historian James M. McPherson hailed Vicksburg as “the most brilliant and innovative campaign of the Civil War,” while a U.S. Army field manual declared it “the most brilliant campaign ever fought on American soil.” Discover the legacy of this monumental battle through the lens of history. - Summary by David WalesCopyright International Ambient Sounds Art Political Science Politics & Government World
