What is the conclusion for the siege of Vicksburg?
The siege of Vicksburg ended when the Confederate Forces ran out of food. "First we ate the cows. Then we ate the horses. Then we ate the mules. Then we ate the dogs. Then we ate the cats. Then we ate the rats. When there was nothing else to eat we went hungry. Finally we surrendered." The Union forces captured Vicksburg. 40,000 Confederate solders surrendered. The Mississippi River was opened for Union sipping from Illinois to New Orleans. It became difficult to supply Confederate Armies east of the Mississippi River with supplies and livestock from west of the Mississippi. The Union Army did not need to defeat the Confederate Army west of the Mississippi but it only needed to prevent it from sending supplies east of the Mississippi. As a result, the Union Army could concentrate its forces east of the Mississippi.
