Best Answer

The first pitched battle was Bull Run/Manassas in July 1861. It demonstrated only that neither side was ready for operations.

The first major battle with an important outcome was Shiloh in April 1862, which brought Grant to public attention, not entirely favourably. But it actually spelt the beginning of the end for Confederate hopes of dominating Western Tennessee and Mississippi.
