Union General Ulysses S. Grant<span> advances toward the </span>Mississippi<span> capital of Jackson during his bold and daring drive to take Vicksburg, the last Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River.</span>

Then he brought the Confederates to battle, helped by the bad situation of the garrison commander, who was receiving conflicting orders. It should be noted that the siege on Vicksburg was the Union's third and final attempt to capture this important city.
