When Grant paroled 30 thousand prisoners at Vicksburg did the Confederates have to release 30 thousand Union prisoners?

Yes, when General Ulysses S. Grant paroled 30,000 Confederate prisoners at Vicksburg after their surrender in July 1863, the Confederacy was obligated to release an equivalent number of Union prisoners. This was part of the terms of the parole agreement, which aimed to ensure that both sides honored the treatment of captured soldiers according to military conventions of the time. However, the actual exchange of prisoners often faced logistical challenges and delays during the war.
