The battle of Vicksburg was where?

Vicksburg was and is on the Mississippi River in Southwestern Mississippi, on bluffs overlooking a hairpin bend in the river, across from Louisiana. The siege of Vicksburg began late in May, when the Union army surrounded the city and its defenses and lasted until it surrendered on 3 July. It was fought in the trenches that surrounded the city and by naval gun boats on the Mississippi River. Before this, General Grant made several attempts to capture Vicksburg and its river forts. Some of these battles were fought south of Vicksburg and some in Louisiana side of the river. One attempt was stopped at Fort Pemberton on the Tallahatchie River (at present day Greenwood, MS). The Battle of Champions Hill (at Edwards, MS) was the last battle outside the city that forced the Confederates to retreat to the defenses of the city, where they awaited (hopefully) for reinforcements to arrive.
