December 1862 CE

Union General William T. Sherman reaches the Yazoo River just north of the city of Vicksburg, but without support from Grant's half of the mission, he is repulsed in bloody assaults against Chickasaw Bayou from December 26 to 29.

This victory for the Confederate Army, here outnumbered two to one, results in six times as many Union casualties.
