Best Answer

General Grant, a Union General, won the battle of Vicksburg. He defeated the Confederate Army of General Pemberton. Jefferson Davis, The President of the Confederacy, tried to micromanage the battle from Richmond, Virginia, instead of letting General Joseph E. Johnson run it from on site.

Vicksburg had nothing to do with Lee - except for the coincidence that the surrender of Vicksburg (which ended the war in the West) happened on the same day as Lee's defeat at far-away Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

This point in the war (July 1863) is often called 'Confederate High Watermark'.
