The Battle of Fort Donelson in Tennessee was a key victory for the Union early on into the US Civil War. One significant factor in the Union victory was the help of Union gunboats to bombard the Confederate fort and troops mounting a counterattack against Federal forces. The capture of the fort gave the North control of the Cumberland River. The battle took place from February 11, 1862 to the 16th of that month.
