FEBRUARY 16 1862
The North achieves it's first major victory when
General Ulysses S. Grant captures Fort Donelson in
Tennessee.
After some fighting and in a hopeless position the
South's commmander Buckner asked for terms of
surrender from Grant. Grant, who was a classmate
of Buckner at West Point, replied 'No terms except an
unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted.'
Buckner was annoyed but surrendered anyway. Newspapers
around the country dubbed the new Union hero
'Unconditional Surrender' Grant.
