Robert E. Lee, a senior officer in the United States joined the southern army of the confederacy, and helped them get organized swiftly. Vicksburg, Mississippi was one of the last Confederate strongholds, which held to be an important location. Eventually the Union overtook the Confederates, and Abraham Lincoln took over as president of the entire United States. This lead to a military reconstruction in March 1867, which meant that the Confederate states were put into districts, those districts had Union Generals, they kept everything under control in each district.
