| dbo:abstract | The Battle of Lake Providence was fought on June 9, 1863, during the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War. Confederate troops from the Trans-Mississippi Department were trying to relieve Union pressure during the Siege of Vicksburg. Major General Richard Taylor, primarily utilizing Walker's Greyhounds, prepared a three-pronged attack against Union positions at Milliken's Bend, Young's Point, and Lake Providence. The strike against Lake Providence was conducted by 900 men led by Colonel Frank Bartlett. Bartlett's force crossed Bayou Macon two days late. The Confederates encountered a Union picket force 6 miles (9.7 km) from their destination. The Union pickets withdrew, alerted Union commander Brigadier General Hugh T. Reid, and while withdrawing burned the bridge over Bayou Tensas. The Confederate were forced to halt at Bayou Tensas by the wrecked bridge, and before the structure could be rebuilt, Reid arrived with his main force. A Confederate cannon was driven off by Union fire, and Bartlett withdrew his men at dusk. The attack against Lake Providence accomplished little, the strike against Milliken's Bend was defeated in the Battle of Milliken's Bend, and little came of the movement against Young's Point. Vicksburg surrendered on July 4. (en) La bataille de Lake Providence s'est déroulée à Lake Providence, Louisiane le 9 juin 1863, pendant le siège de Vicksburg lors de la guerre de Sécession. La bataille devait se faire de concert avec les attaques confédérées contre les dépôts de l'Union à Young's Point et Milliken's Bend le 7 juin 1863. Cependant, le commandant confédéré, le lieutenant colonel Frank Bartlett prend 48 heures de retard par rapport à la planification, mais se lance toujours contre la garnison fédérale. Les forces de l'Union sont commandées par le brigadier général (en) et sont largement en supériorité numérique face à Bartlett. La brigade de Reid est une unité mixte, composée de soldats blancs et des United States Colored Troops. Bartlett forme une ligne de bataille soutenue par l'artillerie et attaque. Les tireurs d'élite de Reid chassent l'artillerie et une brève escarmouche s'ensuit. Les confédérés se retirent avec deux hommes tués et quatre blessés. Le fédéraux comptabilisent un blessé. Les trois attaques confédérées contre des dépôts fédéraux en Louisiane sont des échecs et l'étreinte de l'Union sur Vicksburg continue à se resserrer. (fr) |
