The capture of Fort Donelson during the American Civil War was achieved by Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant in February 1862. The victory was significant as it opened up the Tennessee River to Union invasion and marked a turning point in the Western Theater of the war. The Confederate commander, General Simon Bolivar Buckner, ultimately surrendered the fort, leading to Grant's rise in prominence.
