Port Hudson, battle of a Union assault against the Confederate stronghold at Port Hudson on the Mississippi River, from May 21 to July 9, 1863, during the
Civil War. As part of Union Maj. Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant's siege of
Vicksburg (1862-63), Maj. Gen.
Nathaniel P. Banks initiated a forty-eight-day siege of Port Hudson on May 27, after Confederate forces under Maj. Gen. Franklin Gardner had repelled Banks' frontal assaults. Banks unsuccessfully renewed his assaults on June 14; but on July 9, after the surrender at Vicksburg (July 4), the Confederates at Port Hudson also surrendered. Total Union casualties are estimated at 5,000; and Confederate at 7,208. The surrender gave the Union complete control of the Mississippi and divided the Confederacy in half.
