VicksburgIn 1862 Grant initiated a campaign to capture Vicksburg. Grants army surrounded the COnfederates on July 4th, 1863, winning this battle gave the Union control of the Mississippi River
I now determined upon a regular siege to ¨öut-camp the enemy,¨ as it were, and to incur no more losses
We are in control now!
GettysburgLee launched another Northern invasion, the two commanders clashed at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. This was the turning point of the war and resulted in over 50,000 casualties with a Union win.
To be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love
