On Thursday, we researched the Battle of Vicksburg. The battle was fought near the Mississippi River between the Union and the Confederacy. The Union wanted control of the river for transportation and so they would control the economy. After losing multiple times while trying to break into the city, the Union eventually laid siege to Vicksburg. Life became difficult for Confederate soldiers and citizens, and they eventually surrendered. The battle affected the result of the war by giving the Union a major advantage in the control of the Mississippi River. We then created a "billboard sign" about the battle explaining its importance.
Today, I was performing in the in-school concert and did not attend class. We have a writing assignment due tonight, though.
