The Battle of Milliken's Bend was fought on June 7, 1863, as part of the Vicksburg Campaign during the American Civil War. Major General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union Army had placed the strategic Mississippi River city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, under siege in mid-1863. Confederate leadership erroneously believed that Grant's supply line still ran through Milliken's Bend in Louisiana, and Major General Richard Taylor was tasked with disrupting it to aid the defense of Vicksburg. Taylor sent Brigadier General Henry E. McCulloch with a brigade of Texans to attack Milliken's Bend, which was held by a brigade of newly-recruited African American soldiers. McCulloch's attack struck early on the morning of June 7, and was initially successful in close-quarters fighting. Fire from the Union gunbo

  • ミリケンズベンドの戦い(ミリケンズベンドのたたかい、英: Battle of Milliken's Bend)は、南北戦争3年目の1863年6月7日、ビックスバーグ方面作戦の一部としてルイジアナ州マディソン郡で行われた戦闘である。南軍のジョン・C・ペンバートン中将とその軍隊が、ミシシッピ州ビックスバーグで、北軍指揮官ユリシーズ・グラント少将とテネシー軍に包囲されていた。 南軍はグラント軍の補給線を遮断し、ビックスバーグ市を解放しようとして、ミシシッピ川のミリケンズベンドで北軍の補給所を攻撃した。ミリケンズベンドの地域はビックスバーグの北西15マイル (24 km) にあり、グラントのビックスバーグ方面作戦では最近まで出発地点として機能していた。補給基地と病院があり、その多くは解放された奴隷から最近徴募されたばかりのアフリカ系アメリカ人兵士によって駐屯防御されていた。 この戦闘は比較的小規模のものだったが、黒人兵が軍事的に訓練も無いまま、さらに武器も劣っていた中で勇敢に戦い、砲艦の助けもあって最終的に南軍を撃退したことで意義あるものとなった。 (ja)
