In the Battle of Vicksburg itself, everything went well for the Union, except when they tried to attack the fortifications directly. This failed and they then settled down a siege, which ended in Confederate surrender.
In the earlier part of the campaign, the Confederates had managed to disrupt Grant's plans by capturing the supply-base at Holly Springs, while Lincoln had also given John McClernand permission to raise a private army and take it down the West bank of the Mississippi without telling Grant. This put Grant in an almost impossible position that tested his patience and endurance to the utmost. His eventual success earned him the highest credit.
