Forts Henry and Donelson were constructed by the Confederacy along the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers to defend western Tennessee from Union forces. Grant received approval to attack Fort Henry before reinforcements could arrive. On February 6th, Union gunboats captured Fort Henry and the nearby Fort Heiman. Grant then determined to quickly capture the larger Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River. However, poor weather and difficulties moving ironclads delayed Grant's attack. On February 14th, Union gunboats attacked Fort Donelson but were defeated, though the Confederates were now surrounded by Grant's army.

The historic War of 1812 Battle of Crysler's FarmFergus Ducharme
A historic battle in the War of 1812 between the British Armies and Canadian Militias versus the formidable United States Armed Forces. The American's plan was to invade Canada and force the British to leave North American once and for all. Well, guess what! The British and Canadians won not only the battle but the war too! One of the first times US Forces lost a war! And the bonus is that the British and Canadians, having occupied large swathes of the United States - especially Washington, DC which they, in fact, torched - burning the Hall of Congress and believe it or not the White House, too!
2. With Kentucky’s decision to not join the
Confederacy, southern military leaders
were forced to create key defensive
positions along the Tennessee and
Cumberland Rivers, south of the
Kentucky border.
3. Forts Henry, Heiman, and Donelson were
devised to protect western Tennessee
from Union forces using the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers as approach
avenues.
4. Unfortunately for the Confederacy, there
were few good locations to choose from
along the two rivers.
5. H. Henry Halleck approved Brig. Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant’s plan to move swiftly to
attack Fort Henry before Confederate
reinforcements could arrive. As Grant’s
two divisions began their march south,

Officer Andrew H.

the Confederate forts on the
Tennessee. In a swift, violent exchange
of gunfire, Forts Heiman and Henry
quickly fell to the Union gunboats on
February 6, 1862.

8. Despite being fairly convinced that no
earthen fort could withstand the power
of the Union gunboats, Confederate
Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston allowed the
garrison at Fort Donelson to remain and
even sent new commanders and
reinforcements to the site. On February
11th, Johnston appointed Brig. Gen. John

9. Floyd as the commander of Fort
Donelson and the surrounding
region. 17,000 Confederate
soldiers, combined with improved
artillery positions and earthworks

unnecessary
10. By February 13th, most of Grant’s Union
soldiers had arrived in the vicinity of Fort
Donelson and had begun to arrange
themselves around the landward side of the
fort. Several inches of snowfall and a cold
winter wind sent shivers through both
armies. With Grant’s reinforced army now
blocking a landward exit, the Confederate
forces knew that they would have to fight
their way to freedom.
11. On February 14, 1862, Foote’s ironclads
moved upriver to bombard Fort
Donelson. The subsequent duel between
Foote’s “Pook Turtles” and the heavy guns
at Fort Donelson led to a Union defeat on
the Cumberland. Many of Foote’s ironclads
were heavily damaged and Foote himself
was wounded in the attack. Grant’s
soldiers could hear the Confederate cheers
as the Union gunboats retreated.
