What were the main concerns of Union General Henry Halleck concerning Federal forces in Tennessee in 1862?
Union General Henry Halleck was in charge of Union military operations in the Western Theater. The first nine months of the US Civil War were not especially kind to the North and Halleck was a cautious general. He was deeply concerned that Confederate reinforcements to Fort Donelson would impede a successful assault on the fort. He was also concerned that Fort Henry, taken early by General US Grant, would be a target of a Confederate counteroffensive to retake the fort. Additionally, the severe Winter weather in February of 1862 slowed down the advance of General Grant's march on Fort Donelson. Worse then this, Halleck feared that a new concentration of Confederate forces would endanger Union lines of communication. Luckily for the North, this "bad news" scenario did not take place. Fort Henry remained in Union hands, and despite the Winter delays, US Grant would capture Fort Donelson.
