Maps of Vicksburg
Vicksburg was a big problem for the North because you came along and around the bend and were pelted with artillery. It was a gauntlet. Below is a depiction of the Revetments on the river where they fired on the ships. The Mississippi River flows differently today, the river has moved since the Civil War and parts of the river back then are now lakes.
