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

Many persons believed, or pretended to believe, and confidently asserted, that freed slaves would not make good soldiers; they would lack courage, and could not be subjected to military discipline. Facts have shown how groundless were these apprehensions. The slave has proved his manhood, and his capacity as an infantry soldier, at Milliken's Bend, at the assault upon Port Hudson, and the storming of Fort Wagner.

McCulloch's attack struck early on the morning of June 7, and was initially successful in close-quarters fighting. Fire from the Union gunboat USS Choctaw halted the Confederate attack, and McCulloch later withdrew after the arrival of a second gunboat. The attempt to relieve Vicksburg was unsuccessful. One of the first actions in which African American soldiers fought, Milliken's Bend demonstrated the value of African American soldiers as part of the Union Army.

La bataille de Milliken's Bend s'est déroulée le 7 juin 1863, pendant la campagne de Vicksburg, lors de la guerre de Sécession. Le lieutenant général confédéré John C. Pemberton et son armée sont assiégés dans Vicksburg, Mississippi, par le commandant de l'Union, le major général Ulysses S. Grant et l'armée du Tennessee. Dans un effort de couper le ravitaillement de Grant et de soulager l'étreinte de la ville, les confédérés attaquent la zone de ravitaillement de l'Union à (en) au-dessus du Mississippi. La région de Milliken's Bend, 24 kilomètres au nord-ouest de Vicksburg, a servi de zone de desserte pour la campagne de Vicksburg de Grant. C'est un site de dépôts de ravitaillement et d'hôpitaux, dont beaucoup sont armés et gardés par des soldats noirs ; certains de ceux qui ont été recrutés récemment sont des esclaves affranchis. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une petite bataille, elle se distingue par le rôle important joué par les soldats noirs de l'Union qui, malgré le manque d'entraînement militaire, ont combattu avec bravoure, avec un armement inférieur et ont repoussé finalement les confédérés avec l'aide des canonnières.

La Battaglia di Milliken's Bend, combattuta il 7 giugno del 1863, fece parte della Campagna di Vicksburg pur inserendosi nell'ambito del Teatro Trans-Mississippi della guerra di secessione americana. Il generale confederato John Clifford Pemberton e il suo esercito rimasero imprigionati nell'assedio di Vicksburg, nel Mississippi, dal comandante dell'Union Army, il maggior generale Ulysses S. Grant e dalla sua Armata del Tennessee. Nel tentativo di tagliare la linea dei rifornimenti di Grant e di dare così un po' di sollievo alla città di Vicksburg (Mississippi), i confederati attaccarono l'area dell'approvvigionamento dell'Unione a Milliken's Bend nella Louisiana. La zona, situata 15 miglia a Nordovest di Vicksburg, fino a poco tempo prima era servita come area di sosta per le truppe unioniste impegnate nell'assedio. Si trattava di un sito di depositi di mezzi e viveri e un campo ospedaliero, molti dei quali presidiati e sorvegliati dalle United States Colored Troops; alcuni dei suoi appartenenti erano stati recentemente arruolti come liberti. Sebbene sia una battaglia relativamente minore, si ricorda per il ruolo preminente giocato dai soldati afroamericani che, nonostante mancassero ancora di un livello adeguato di addestramento militare, combatterono coraggiosamente e alla fine respinsero i confederati grazie all'aiuto delle cannoniere unioniste giunte in soccorso.

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。
