What side did the Vicksburg fought in the civil war?
Vicksburg was the last major Confederate garrison on the Mississippi. When that was captured by Grant, it spelt the end of the war in the West. The surrender of Vicksburg came on July 4th 1863. Some say the garrison commander (Pemberton) chose that date, hoping for generous terms on the glorious 4th. He may also have hoped for some leniency, because he had known Grant in the old army and once lent him five dollars when he was broke. The only leniency by Grant was to allow the garrison to be paroled, as he dreaded having to feed and transport 30,000 prisoners to the Northern camps.

To Ulysses Grant, his "slaughter pen" was either one or both assaults made at Vicksburg, Mississippi in May of 1863 or the second assault he ordered at Cold Harbor in June of 1864. In his memoirs he wrote: "I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor was ever made. I might say the same thing of the assault of the 22nd of May, 1863, at Vicksburg. At Cold Harbor no advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained. Indeed, the advantages other than those of relative losses, were on the Confederate side." The Cold Harbor attack resulted in between 3,000 and 7,000 casualties in the space of forty minutes. The fight at Vicksburg saw the Federals loose 3,199 men over six hours.

How did the battle of Vicksburg unfold?
After Grant managed to cross the river, the surrender of Vicksburg was not 'if' but 'when'. Pemberton did score some successes against Sherman, but was fatally handicapped by conflicting orders - President Davis telling him to hold the town at any cost, and his immediate superior Joe Johnston urging him to abandon the place and join forces with him. In Virginia, Longstreet wanted to send troops to help Pemberton, and some say this could have saved the situation in the West.
