ed morals and no will to fight.Ulysses S Grant’s leadership in the Vicksburg campaign was one of superior skill, stubbornness, and courage. Grant decided what he thought would work and stuck with it, his decisions were correct and and he led an extremely honorable and intelligent campaign at Vicksburg and through out the war. The capture of Pemberton’s army and the loss of the strategic city of Vicksburg split the Confederacy. This victory at Vicksburg sparked a fear in Confederacy, that they could not stop Grants army and that they were essentially doomed in this war. After Vicksburg, Grant gained more popularity and this was the chief cause for his election as General-in-Chief. Once Grant took control of the entire Union army, with his skills, he easily conquered the rest of the Confederacy and single handedly was the most important military general in the Unions victory of the Civil War.
