Description

La batalla de Fort Henry, que ocurrió el 6 de febrero de 1862 fue la primera victoria significativa de la Unión en la Guerra Civil estadounidense. En un esfuerzo por hacerse con el control de los ríos y las líneas de suministro al oeste de los Apalaches, el general de brigada de la Unión Ulysses S. Grant y el comodoro Andrew Foote lanzaron un ataque contra Fort Henry, que estaba ligeramente defendido, en Tennessee.

Ya antes del feroz bombardeo naval, el general de brigada confederado Lloyd Tilghman, que era consciente de la irremediable superioridad de la Unión, evacuó en secreto la mayor parte de sus tropas al cercano Fort Donelson antes de rendirse a las fuerzas de la Unión. La caída de Fort Henry, seguida 10 días más tarde por la captura de Fort Donelson, abrió los ríos Cumberland y Tennessee al control de la Unión, cortando el acceso confederado a dos vías fluviales clave durante el resto de la guerra.
