What is total victory?

This question can pertain to the US Civil War and also pertain to many other conflicts of major proportions. A total victory is achieved when the total of the "goals" of the attacking force have been satisfied.In the US Civil War, total victory for the South was a treaty of some kind in which the Union recognized that to continue the war was futile. Various formal agreements on this would have been a total victory for the Confederacy.For the Union, early on in the war, a change of heart by the Confederacy, which meant the return to the Union, could have easily been a total victory in the eyes of the Union's leader, US President Lincoln. The issue of slavery would be addressed by legal avenues sometime later on.

When was the unions first victory?

It is important to note that there were many battles and skirmishes in the American Civil War and it is important for the both the historian and the informed student to focus on those military actions which have long range implications. George McClellan led a successful campaign in what is now West Virginia in the summer of 1861 as the Union was reeling from it's great defeat at the first Manassas, but the scale of the West Virginia campaign was small and its effects transient. The first important victory for the Union, in the view of many historians, was the capture of Fort Donnelson and Fort Henry in northern Tennessee in February of 1862, which signaled the successful beginnings of the largely successful Western Campaign and the ascendancy of Ulysses S Grant.
