Fort Henry and Fort Donelson were significant Confederate fortifications during the American Civil War, located in Tennessee. Fort Henry, situated on the Tennessee River, fell to Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant in February 1862, marking one of the first Union victories in the Western Theater. Following this, Fort Donelson, located on the Cumberland River, was also captured by Grant’s forces shortly thereafter, earning him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant and opening the way for the Union's advance into the South. Their capture was pivotal in securing Union control over key waterways and contributed to the overall momentum of the Union Army in the early stages of the war.
