I don't know a lot about the Vicksburg battle, but I know that Grant decided on the risky approach of bypassing Vicksburg from the LA side, requiring the Federal's navy to pass the Confederates' artillery.
I don't understand why Grant could not have approached from the north or northeast. Is it because he would have been separated from his navy due to impassible land directly norther of Vicksburg and therefore been unable to coordinate land and river attacks?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
