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.
