I always wondered how we could have possibly lost Fort Donelson.

The Confederacy, a great part of our history the left is trying to erase.
I can’t wait until the left is erased.

Somewhere over the years, but now can't find where, I read that an important but forgotten result of Grant's victories at Forts Henry & Donelson was they put an end to Jefferson Davis' plans to invade Illinois.
Has anybody else seen that, and can you cite a reference?
