Celebrating Vicksburg's 200th anniversary and its role in American history. This resolution recognizes Vicksburg's 1825 incorporation and traces its story from precolonial Tunica, Yazoo, Koroa, Ofo, and Tioux peoples through early settlement, the 47-day Civil War siege and July 4, 1863 surrender, and the establishment of the Vicksburg National Cemetery, which is the nation's second-largest as of 2025.
