General in Chief US Grant saw how effective the Southern strategy of conducting raiding parties on Union lines of supply and communications. He decided to work "raiding" into his overall military operations. In the Winter of 1864 he ordered General Sherman to conduct raids in Mississippi. The intent was to raid Meridian, Mississippi with cavalry and infantry and destroy railways, and food supplies the Confederate army used. Under Sherman, Major General W. Sooy Smith, Union forces based in Memphis Tennessee, struck quickly and did significant damage to the Confederacy. Part of this operation would have General Sherman advance from Vicksburg to Mississippi with 20,000 troops. It truly was a raid in that the plans called for a return to Vicksburg after causing as much damage to Southern logistics as possible.
