When Pemberton marched his men out of the city and southward during the Vicksburg Campaign in the American Civil War, he aimed to join forces with General Joseph E. Johnston to break the siege. However, his troops faced significant challenges, including supply issues and Union forces under General Grant, who pursued them. This maneuver ultimately failed, leading to Pemberton's surrender on July 4, 1863, which marked a pivotal moment in the war, resulting in the Union gaining control of the Mississippi River.
