Best Answer

It was about evens.

In the East, it was the Confederates that won almost every battle. The Union only won at Antietam in September, and that was through an extraordinary accident.

In the West, it was the other way round. Grant was coming to the fore, and his victory at Shiloh marked the end of Confederate ascendancy in the Mississippi valley. Only Braxton Bragg's invasion of Kentucky appeared to upset the record, but he soon retreated.
