In the entire nine-month-long campaign, there was no more tension and drama than in these seventeen days when Grant’s Army of the Tennessee marched through the wilds of Mississippi, claiming victory after victory, tearing the heart out of the State of Mississippi and the Confederacy. By the end of the swift assault, Grant arrived victorious at the exact place he had worked to gain for months: the high ground east of Vicksburg where he had access to both the city and an open and unchallenged supply route via the Yazoo River to the north. He could finally begin the process of capturing Vicksburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCivil War historians have long disagreed about how to understand this moment of the Vicksburg Campaign as they analyse Union supply lines, the swiftness of the campaign, and other salient details of Grant’s success.
