What is Grant's plan for attacking Vicksburg?

History
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: An extended siege.

Explanation:

General Ulysses S. Grant had first tried to take Vicksburg in 1862 but failed and had to try again because Vicksburg was a very important town that sat on the Mississippi river and would give the Union control of the river if it fell.

After Grant defeated General John C. Pemberton close to Vicksburg, Pemberton retreated to Vicksburg where he was trapped by Grant who fended off attacks to liberate the city and constantly bombarded it from Union positions.

Ordering his soldiers to build 15 miles of trenches around Vicksburg, Grant was able to starve the city for 47 days such that Pemberton was forced to surrender to the Union.

I believe the answer is: "Promote white supremacy, but never do so explicitly."
Even though advocation to promote the superiority of white races never really came out of his mouth, his actions to deny the black students their right to obtain educations indicates that He held a discriminatory behavior toward racial minorities.
