The purpose of capturing Vicksburg was to shut down a huge supply city the Confederacy relied on. Also, Vicksburg being on the Mississippi River, needed to fall allowing the Union full access to this key river.
The problem was that Grant failed in attempts to capture Vicksburg early on in the war. His strategy of a river attack failed. Only later in the War did the siege of Vicksburg succeed.
