Historia [recensere]
Regio quae nunc est Vicksburgum olim fuit pars patriae Natchez Indiorum Americanorum. Hoc populo in Bello Natchez saeculi septimi decimi victis, regio facta est pars Civitatis Choctaw.
Per Bellum Civile Americanum, urbs fuit situs Obsidionis Vicksburgi, insignissimae rei, quo Unio imperium in omnem Mississippium Flumen cepit. Obsidio, quae quadraginta septem dies durabat, fame usa est ut urbs se dederet, enim eius situs, in colli alta super flumine, fuit inexpugnabilis tormento et peditatu. Expugnatio Vicksburgi et defectionem Roberti E. Lee die superiore apud Gettysburgum habentur belli punctum commutationis.
