How did Vicksburg's capture affect the war?
Vicksburg was an important city and fort for the Confederacy. It's position on the Mississippi was vital and prevented the Union from completely controlling the river. It was of great strategic importance for the South and it withstood several Union campaigns sent to capture it. Vicksburg was a major supply hub. Areas west of the Mississippi were able to transport food and war supplies to Vicksburg and from there products were transported to eastern parts of the South. Vicksburg was placed under siege and fell in the Summer of 1863. The benefits it provided for the South were lost at that point. It was a major defeat for the Confederacy. It left the "western" front of the war open to Union advances.
How did Grant capture?
1.) Grant was able to capture Vicksburg by sending a cavalry brigade to destroy rail lines in central Mississippi and draw attention away from the port city. When the Confederate forces were distracted, Grant was able to land infantry south of Vicksburg. Eighteen days later, Union forces defeated several rebel units and sacked Jackson, their capital. Gaining confidence, Grant and his troops rushed to Vicksburg. When two frontal assaults on the city failed, Grant set up a steady barrage of artillery for several hours every day, and was able to cut the city off from supplies. Finally, after almost 2 months of siege, food supplies ran terribly low and the Confederate commander of Vicksburg asked Grant for terms of surrender. About 30,000 southern soldiers surrendered and the north captured over 50,000 weapons and many cannon. Source: McDougal Littell, The Americans
