What caused the General US Grant victory at the Battle of Fort Donelson to be the first major Union victory of the US Civil War?
General Grant, in his own words, wrote that the importance of Fort Donelson, was an incentive to capture it. He also understood the value of Donelson to the South was just as important. The ensuing battle there was a major one due to the large number of troops on each side. Grant had about 15,000 troops to use in his assault, later his reinforcements totaled 27,000 men at Grant's disposal.On the other hand Grant estimated that the Confederate forces defending the fort were about 21,000.Grant cites that the news of the fall of Fort Donelson caused great delight in the North. He and his commanders all received promotions. The value of the capture, unlike that of Fort Henry, cannot be overestimated. Grant, and as Civil War historians agree upon, was that the capture of this fort would have allowed the way to open all of the Southwest of the South with little if any resistance.Views that the capture of Fort Henry was a "major and first great victory" do not coincide with the general who captured both forts. The acclaim Grant received in the North for the fall of Donelson, did not appear in the North for good reason. There were hardly any significant Confederate troops there. And, it's clear among Civil War historians that Fort Donelson was indeed a major & first great victory for the Union.

Fort Henry, on the the right bank of the Tennessee River and Fort Donelson, on the left bank of the Cumberland River, both next to the border between the Tennessee and Kentucky were two Confederate strongholds built to prevent the Union naval and land forces to invade Tennessee. The Forts stood about 12 miles far each other and had been conceived to provide mutual support moving troops through a strategic road that linked them. At the end of Feb. 1862, Gen. Grant and Commodore Foot noticed by means of intelligence that the entrenched camp defending the land side of Fort Henry had not been completely garrisoned yet and decided to attack it before reinforcements were sent there. The assault began on Feb. 6, 1862 at 12,30AM with a bombardment carried out by Commodore Foote's 7 gunboats, which after about two hour compelled the Fort to surrender, after the Confederate infantry units (about 3200 men) evacuated the entrenched camp, retreating towards Fort Donelson, avoiding to be taken prisoners by the approaching Union's land forces.
