064 - Taking Down The Citadel: The Siege of Vicksburg
Manage episode 372482990 series 3347843
About this episode:
In the first days of the American Civil War, Winfield Scott, the then 74-year-old Union General-in-Chief, advised a strategy that he believed was key in putting down the Southern rebellion. Derisively tabbed the “Anaconda” Plan, Scott believed: one, the Border States had to be held and used as avenues for invasion; two, Southern ports should be blockaded and, third, to split the Confederacy, the Mississippi River should become a Union highway. This is the story of the incredible campaign that made Scott’s third element reality. This is the story of Ulysses S. Grant’s campaign and siege of Vicksburg.
