In this special Independence Day episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco take you into one of the most pivotal campaigns of the American Civil War: the Battle of Vicksburg. From Ulysses S. Grant’s bold strategic maneuvers to the harrowing siege conditions endured by soldiers and civilians alike, this episode unpacks how the fall of Vicksburg effectively split the Confederacy in two—and changed the course of the war.

You’ll hear about daring trench engineers, teenage couriers, forgotten heroes, and the overlooked human cost behind one of history’s most decisive sieges. Plus, stick around after the episode for a haunting original song inspired by the campaign—“The River Runs Dry (Battle of Vicksburg).”
