Vicksburg+Campaign+Outcome

The Union soldiers performed beautifully. They defeated the rebel soldiers from the South, and recreated the United States of America, minus the slavery. Sadly, it would take many more years before racial discrimination was totally stamped out.

The Campaign began in April of 1863, and ended in July of the same year on Independence Day. The irony is soooooooo thick.

The outcome of these battles was that the Confederates never recovered from these attacks. They lost Vicksburg, the Mississippi was open for the North, they lost many soldiers due to a parole they all signed, and the entire South was cut in half.

After the battle, one general stated that it was one of the strangest site that he ever saw. There were some brothers trading news, and plenty of cousins meeting.
