The Union referred to the people of Vicksburg as "the besieged." This term highlighted their situation during the Civil War when the city was under siege by Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant from May 18 to July 4, 1863. The siege ultimately resulted in the city's surrender, which was a significant turning point in the war.
