Vicksburg.
Yes, in fact, he did! Ulysses S. Grant was a favorite general of Abraham Lincoln at the time, and Grant had no problem taking charge and showing the South who's boss. What was so great about Ulysses was that he was one of the most successful generals in his time. Ulysses S. Grant became the 18th president in 1869 until the year 1877. He died in the year 1885.
During the American Civil War, the leadership of General Ulysses S. Grant was indeed one of the "shift" factors that led to Northern success in 1863 and beyond. In the Western Theater, Grant led Union forces to a great victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Soon, in the Eastern Theater, he squared off with General Robert E. Lee in what would prove to be a grueling but ultimately successful series of campaigns that would finally end the war entirely. Grant did not become general in chief until 1864. Vicksburg fell after a long siege. This required no brilliance. Just many troops to cut off supplies and Confederate troops to help Vicksburg.
"General Grant is a great general. I know him well. He stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk; and now, sir, we stand by each other always."- William Tecumseh Sherman, asking not to be promoted to Lt Gen to rival Grant in 1864

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.
