This was not the case in the siege and fall of Vicksburg.After consulting with his generals on the two choices they had, which was to try to battle their way out of Vicksburg or surrender, the consensus was to surrender. After that decision they asked General Grant for terms of surrender. With that said, Grant realized that Vicksburg had almost 30,000 troops in the city.
