Question

1. what was the successful union strategy for taking vicksburg?○ to avoid confederate fire by digging canals around the fortress○ to launch a naval attack against the fortress at vicksburg○ to surround and bombard the city, cutting off supplies○ to sneak across the river and attack the city at night

Explanation:

During the Siege of Vicksburg in the American Civil War, the Union's successful strategy was to surround the city and cut off its supplies, leading to the Confederates' surrender after weeks of being trapped with dwindling resources. The other options do not match the actual historical strategy: canal digging attempts failed, direct naval attacks were not the successful approach, and a nighttime river crossing attack was not the winning tactic.

Answer:

to surround and bombard the city, cutting off supplies
