Ulysses S. Grant, the prominent Union general during the American Civil War, won a significant number of battles, making him one of the most successful military leaders of that time. Specifically, Grant is credited with victories in several key battles including the Battle of Fort Donelson, the Battle of Shiloh, and the Siege of Vicksburg.
While it is difficult to pinpoint an exact number of battles he won due to varying definitions of what constitutes a ‘battle,’ it is generally accepted that Grant won more than 20 major battles throughout the war. His strategic insights and tenacity were crucial in shaping the Union’s path to victory and ultimately leading to the end of the war in 1865.
