Read this quote from the diary of a woman who lived through the siege of Vicksburg.

List at least two hardships described by this survivor.

I never understood before the full force of those questions – What shall we eat? What shall we drink? And wherewithal shall we be clothed? . . . . For many nights we have had but little sleep.

–Resident of Vicksburg, 1863
