HELP!!! I WILL MARK YOU AS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER Which of these BEST describes Grant's plans to take Vicksburg in 1863?

A- he invaded Vicksburg using ships on the Mississippi River.
B- he entered Mississippi through Louisiana south of Vicksburg.
C- He took New Orleans first, then advanced to Jackson, then Vicksburg.
D- he advanced from the north towards Jackson, then went to Vicksburg

The answer is D. He advanced from the north towards Jackson, then went to Vicksburg

Explanation: Grant initially planned a two-pronged approach in which half of his army, under Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, would advance to the Yazoo River and attempt to reach Vicksburg from the northeast, while Grant took the remainder of the army down the Mississippi Central Railroad.

After defeating a Confederate force near Jackson, Grant turned back to Vicksburg. On May 16, he defeated a force under General John C. Pemberton retreated back to Vicksburg, and Grant sealed the city by the end of May. In three weeks, Grant's men marched 180 miles, won five battles and captured some 6,000 prisoners.
