The successful Union strategy for capturing Vicksburg involved a combination of military maneuvering and a siege. General Ulysses S. Grant's forces encircled the city, cutting off supplies and reinforcements while bombarding Confederate defenses. The Union also utilized a series of flanking movements to outmaneuver Confederate forces. After a prolonged siege lasting over 40 days, Vicksburg surrendered on July 4, 1863, giving the Union control of the Mississippi River.
