Champion Hill, Bakers Creek, Civil War Mississippi
American Civil War, May 16, 1863
Following the Union occupation of Jackson, Mississippi, both Confederate and
Federal forces made plans for future operations. General Joseph E. Johnston
retreated, with most of his army, up the Canton Road, but he ordered
Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton, commanding about 23,000 men, to leave
Edwards Station and attack the Federals at Clinton.
Pemberton and his generals felt that Johnston's plan was dangerous and decided
instead to attack the Union supply trains moving from Grand Gulf to Raymond.
On May 16, though, Pemberton received another order from Johnston repeating
his former directions. Pemberton had already started after the supply trains
and was on the Raymond-Edwards Road with his rear at the crossroads one-third
mile south of the crest of Champion Hill. Thus, when he ordered a
countermarch, his rear, including his many supply wagons, became the advance
of his force.
On May 16, 1863, about 7:00 am, the Union forces engaged the Confederates and
the Battle of Champion Hill began. Pemberton's force drew up into a defensive
line along a crest of a ridge overlooking Jackson Creek. Pemberton was unaware
that one Union column was moving along the Jackson Road against his
unprotected left flank. For protection, Pemberton posted Brigadier General
Stephen D. Lee's men atop Champion Hill where they could watch for the
reported Union column moving to the crossroads.
Lee spotted the Union troops and they soon saw him. If this force was not
stopped, it would cut the Rebels off from their Vicksburg base. Pemberton
received warning of the Union movement and sent troops to his left flank.
Union forces at the Champion House moved into action and emplaced artillery to
begin firing.
When Grant arrived at Champion Hill, around 10:00 am, he ordered the attack to
begin. By 11:30 am, Union forces had reached the Confederate main line and
about 1:00 pm, they took the crest while the Rebels retired in disorder. The
Federals swept forward, capturing the crossroads and closing the Jackson Road
escape route. One of Pemberton's divisions (Bowen's) then counterattacked,
pushing the Federals back beyond the Champion Hill crest before their surge
came to a halt. Grant then counterattacked, committing forces that had just
arrived from Clinton by way of Bolton.
Pemberton's men could not stand up to this assault, so he ordered his men from
the field to the one escape route still open: the Raymond Road crossing of
Bakers Creek. Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman's brigade formed the rearguard,
and they held at all costs, including the loss of Tilghman. In the late
afternoon, Union troops seized the Bakers Creek Bridge, and by midnight, they
occupied Edwards.
The Confederates were in full retreat towards Vicksburg. If the Union forces
caught these Rebels, they would destroy them.
Result(s): Union victory
Location: Hinds County
Campaign: Grant's Operations against Vicksburg (1863)
Date(s): May 16, 1863
Note 28 The Vicksburg City Cemetery (Cedar Hill Cemetery) is the final resting place
for the Confederate dead. The headstones are arranged by state on a terraced
slope known as the Soldier's Rest. Approximately 5,000 are interred here with
3,400 unknowns.
[Many of the Confederate cemetery records were lost -- some were found about
1960 but many who are interred here are unknown.]
