1 day after General Lee was defeated at Gettsburg.

ANSWER

The investment of Vicksburg began on May 19,1863 with the attack against the Stockade Redan. On May 22, 1863 a general assault against the fortress took place. On May 27,1863 Grant decided to attempt for the last time to take Vicksburg by assault. After that Grant decided to start a regular siege, compelling the Confederate Commander, General Pemberton, to surrender the fortress on July 4, 1863.

The battle (not the campaigns) to seize Vicksburg lasted therefore from May 19 until July 4, 1863.
