What year did Vicksburg Mississippi first celebrate the Fourth of July?

The residents of Vicksburg, Mississippi, celebrated the Fourth of July for the first time since July 4, 1863, when the Siege of Vicksburg ended with a Union victory during the American Civil War." That according to: http://dcpages.com/Tourism/Fourth_of_July/ The Siege of Vicksburg was hard fought, and left a bitter taste in the people's mouths.

How did under General US Grant's leadership the US Civil War shifted in favor of the Union armies?

During the American Civil War, the leadership of General Ulysses S. Grant was indeed one of the "shift" factors that led to Northern success in 1863 and beyond. In the Western Theater, Grant led Union forces to a great victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Soon, in the Eastern Theater, he squared off with General Robert E. Lee in what would prove to be a grueling but ultimately successful series of campaigns that would finally end the war entirely. Grant did not become general in chief until 1864. Vicksburg fell after a long siege. This required no brilliance. Just many troops to cut off supplies and Confederate troops to help Vicksburg.
