–Resident of Vicksburg, 1863

Some struggles that the people may have had were things such as lack of food, lack of clothing, and lack of sleep.

Civilian supplies were taken by the military, so were the clothing, and the civilians could not sleep due to the fact that people were shooting right outside their homes.
