I grew up in Memphis and did a 15 mile hike at V-burg as a Boy Scout. No one told me that wearing brand new hiking boots was a VERY bad idea. 😂

Mark M. Smith has a book on the senses and the Civil War. One chapter looks at Vicksburg and the siege through the sense of taste.

Natchez and Vicksburg opposed secession (though only Natchez's representatives actually voted against secession). The reason is economic. Both were places where people of great wealth who owned several plantations and enslaved hundreds of people lived. The wealthiest landowners in the Natchez and Vicksburg areas were heavily invested in assets throughout the US. Secession would have been really bad for their larger financial situation.

The lowest slave populated county in Mississippi Jones county voted against the seccession too! As Mississippi debated the secession question, the inhabitants of Jones County voted overwhelmingly for the anti-secessionist John Hathorne Powell, Jr. In comparison to the pro-secessionist J.M. Bayliss, who received 24 votes, Powell received 374. But, at the Secession Convention, Powell voted for secession.

Vicksburg was captured along the same time that the Confederates were driven out of Gettysburg

During the siege the land side cannon didn't fire very often, Saving ammunition.

Did y'all ride the jet boats? I saw that little clip with the drone. Such a cool ride! So glad to see they're still going. Glad y'all brought up the 4th! I swear.... Considering how strongly opposed to session as the were? They really were salty after they started getting shot at. It took so long to get some to celebrate the 4th. Even now. As loud as it is on regular days? The 4th? Just becomes so silent. Great video!!! Love it! I hope the skeeters aren't flying off with yalls stuff. They're really bad right about now!

The 4th of July wasn't really celebrated with fireworks until 1976 and even that was rather muted. As I remember as a child growing up there

What a devastation! The older structure should be reclaimed as the courthouse and that art-deco monstrosity should be demolished and replaced with a proper museum.

Worth the effort. Ever seen a newspaper printed on wallpaper because they ran out of paper due to the siege? Anywhere?

If Pemberton would have not crossed the Big Black and fought Grant from the fortified high ground on the Warren County side and Johnson covered Grants retreat, Grant would have been routed…

Maybe. Also possible Grant would have caught and destroyed Johnston’s force as another way to try and lure Pemberton out. Grant’s force was perfectly capable of handling either Confederate force in the field. And if either decides to bottle up in Vicksburg they’re just starting the timer on the surrender.

It was a target for the gunboats until the Confederates put the Union wounded in there. Then the shelling stopped.

Grant was limping because his horse slipped and fell on the brick streets. He may or may not have had a few snorts.

I always get drunk before I ride through a city full of trapped civilians that I have just shelled for weeks. Takes the edge off.
