usmcsgt65,
Fts Henry and donnelson were not THE turning point in the war but were a major turning point in the war. While they did not effect the Va. Campaign or split the confederacy in two, It lead the the unions ability to proceed south into new orleans to take vicksburg (which essentially in my opinion doomed the confederacy) IT was the begininning of an end in a sence. Thats just my two cents on it
