Early Victories

Things seem to be going strong on my end of of the war. I have had victories in my first few battles. I have been able to control my troops with wins in both Fort Henry and Fort Donelson on the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. I am not going to say that they were easy wins, but they were strong wins. I feel as if there was not a point in the two battles where I was unsure if we could take over the Confederate forts. Luckily, I have great troops and believe that we can have a big impact on the way the Civil War goes. We are very close to having control of the entire Mississippi River and with a few more wins for the North we will have the South divided and the war can end sooner.
