Fort Henry fell on February 6, 1862. Fort Donelson fell February 16, 1862. It was at Fort Henry that Ulysses Grant received the name "Unconditional Surrender". The commander of Donelson, General Simon Bolivar Buckner requested terms of surrender. Grant replied: " No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works."
Buckner would reply in part; "to accept the ungenerous and unchivalrous terms which you propose."
