Best Answer

The South won a large portion of the battles in the Civil War, including First and Second Bull Run (Manassas). The battles for Charleston Harbor, Fort Wagner and Fort Sumter -- was almost entirely victories for the South. Other notable battles were at Chickamauga, Cold Harbor, "the Crater", Chancellorsville, and several battles in the campaign for Petersburg and Richmond. The last victory for the South was the "Beefsteak Raid" just days before Lee surrendered his forces. Starving Confederate troops concocted a crazy plan to raid Union supplies, and somehow escaped with 300 cattle.

While the South "won" these battles in most cases it simply meant that they had inflicted heavy casualties on Northern forces and stopped an advance for a time. The North won all of the major campaigns in the last two years of the war, even as the South had victories in over half of the battles.
