After the Union Army victory at Fort Donelson in February 1862, the next significant event was the capture of Nashville, Tennessee, which occurred shortly afterward. This victory enabled Union forces to gain a strategic foothold in the Confederate heartland and opened up the Tennessee River for further Union advances.
