The '''Vicksburg Campaign''' was a series of major and minor battles during the [[American Civil War]] led by Major [[General]] [[Ulysses S. Grant]], culminating in the siege and surrender of Vicksburg, [[Mississippi]] on July 4, 1863.  The surrender of Vicksburg opened up the Mississippi River as a vital waterway and split the Confederacy in two.
