John C. Pemberton
John C. Pemberton.
He was born in Pennsylvania, and two of his brothers were officers in the Northern army.
In the old army, he had known his opponent U.S.Grant, who was familiar with his tactical strengths and weaknesses.
In the Vicksburg campaign, Pemberton suffered from conflicting orders arising from disagreements between his immediate superior Joe Johnston and the Confederate President Jefferson Davis (who loathed each other.) Davis was urging him to hold Vicksburg at any cost, while Johnston was urging him to abandon the position and save his army.
When the siege ended, Grant played a cat-&-mouse game with Pemberton - pretending that he wanted Unconditional Surrender, when in fact he dreaded having to feed and transport 30,000 prisoners. To save a little dignity, Pemberton refused the terms and Grant pretended to make a concession, seeing that the news would be announced on the next day - the Fourh of July. The men were allowed to hand in their weapons, sign the parole and go home. (The people of Vicksburg were grateful for this, and did not forget Grant's generous terms.)
Pemberton was then accused by his own side of not being a true Confederate because of his Northern birth, and resigned his commission, re-enlisting as a private, before being promoted back to Colonel. But he played no significant role in the rest of the war.
The garrison besieged in Vicksburg was commanded by General J. C. Pemberton, a northerner from Philadelphia. General J. E. Johnston commanded the department that included that garrison.
General John C. Pemberton was the Confederate commander at Vicksburg.
