Vicksburg Battlefield

This is the memorial to the Michigan soldiers who fought in this Civil War battle.

I won't give a speech on the civil war, but what a terrible cost in human lives.

I will say that this battle was as important as Gettysburg. If the south had won this battle, they would have maintained control of the Mississippi River. And that could have determined the war.
