The start of the war in the West did not involve any Confederate victories.

There was a small Union victory in Kentucky (Mill Springs), and then the capture of the two river-ports ending in Grant's successful demand for 'unconditional surrender'. There followed the Battle of Shiloh, which almost became a Confederate victory, but the situation was saved just in time - by whom is still a debatable issue.
