The Battle of De Soto Point
Grant tried to bypass Vicksburg altogether by constructing a mile and a half long canal at De Soto point. He hoped that by creating this new channel he could move his boats and man below Vicksburg without coming under fire from the Confederate Fortresses batteries.

Grant finally abandoned the project in March 1863 but Lincoln refused to give up on Grant declaring I want generals who will fight battles and win victories.
