Seige of Vicksburg

The Siege of Vicksburg was a success! Once my troops and I were stationed we bombed the city. The bombing went on for about 7 days and the Confederates finally surrendered. The official signing of the surrender was July 4. Shortly after we got a hold of Vicksburg, Port Hudson surrendered in the North. The Union now has full control of the Mississippi! Hopefully there will be some recognition for my achievements. I believe that these contributions to the war are huge. With a few more wins in the east, I believe that the South will have no other option but to surrender. This war has been devastating to both sides and we need to unite as one united country again.
