In June 1863, Confederate Commander [[Theophilus Holmes]] sought to take pressure off of [[Vicksburg, Mississippi]], by attacking the Union-held town of Helena, Arkansas. Holmes planned and executed three different failed attacks on the town. The main attack broke through Battery C, but Union troops fended off the attackers and sealed the breach. The Confederates withdrew on July 4, 1863. There were 1,636 Confederate casualties and 205 Union casualties.<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 14, 2012 |title=Battle of Helena Facts & Summary |url=https://www.battlefields.org/learn/civil-war/battles/helena |access-date=November 8, 2020 |website=American Battlefield Trust |language=en}}</ref>
