On the Confederate side, the garrison commander was John C. Pemberton, reporting to his area commander Joseph E. Johnston, but also having to listen to conflicting orders from his President, Jefferson Davis - a big factor in his defeat.
On the Union side, U.S. Grant had been given reinforcements from a new army raised by politician-in-uniform John McClernand, which McClernand regarded as his own private army that he wanted to lead to Vicksburg down the West bank of the Missisisppi. This caused much friction with Grant, who preferred the East bank route. With immense difficulty, Grant had to get his men across the river downstream, and eventually beiseged Vicksburg with help from Sherman.
