	Vicksburg Campaign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vicksburg Campaign was a series of battles and maneuvers in the Western Theater of the American Civil War directed against Vicksburg, Mississippi, a fortress city that dominated the last Confederate-controlled section of the Mississippi River.
		The Louisiana land west of Vicksburg was also difficult, riven with streams and poor country roads, and on the wrong side of the river from the fortress.
		Although the Confederate killed and wounded in the siege of Vicksburg were a relatively small 2,872, and Union 4,910, Grant captured his second Confederate army in its entirety (the first being at Fort Donelson): 2,166 officers and 27,230 men surrendered.

	Brooks D. Simpson \| Lincoln and His Political Generals \| Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association, 21.1

That term carries with it the misleading implication that there exists a rather stark demarcation between the worlds of the cool, disciplined military professional and the eager if bumbling amateur, the man of merit versus the man with connections.

In some cases Lincoln scholars come close to denying the problem altogether.
		Both times the general made clear the military costs of retaining a political general in command in an important area; both times the president procrastinated on political grounds; both times the result hampered the successful prosecution of military operations in a year when military success was essential to achieving political victory.
