How did the inhabitants of vicksburg survive during grant’s siege on their city?

Hello!

During the siege, many residents of Vicksburg lived in caves to protect themselves from the constant bombings of the Union against the city from both the ground artillery and the naval artillery of the Union fleet, which was bombing from the Mississippi. In that siege they were gradually reduced to eating horses and mules, and then dogs, cats and rats.

I hope this can help you.

Regards!

Many relied on the meager rations that were available. Eventually as the siege set in, residents were forced to eat animals (cats, dogs, rats and birds)and to live in caves to escape the bombardment. The city surrendered to the Union Army afrer seven weeks of bombardment on July 4, 1863.
