The Third Louisiana Redan was built to help guard the Jackson road entrance into the city of Vicksburg. The redan was named after the regiment that garrisoned it, the Third Louisiana Infantry. The Confederates were aware of the union approach trench and mine digging, but despite efforts of sharpshooters, were unable to stop the Federals.
