first union victory

The first major Union victory was Grant's victories at Ft. Henry and Ft. Donelson. He won the reputation for "Unconditional Surrender" Grant with these victories. The first Northern Victory in a set battle was Grant's victory at Shiloh. It showed that even if forced to conduct a graduated withdrawal, Grant would reinforce, resupply, regroup, and counter-attack, driving the Confederates from the field.
