Before dawn on June 7, 1863, a Confederate brigade of Texans under the command of Brig. Gen. Henry McCulloch attacked a small Federal outpost at Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana, not far from Vicksburg.

The Union defenders were a brigade of raw recruits, composed of former slaves officered by whites. A veteran half-regiment of all-white Iowa infantry had just arrived as support.
