who won the Monitor vs. Merrimack battle?
How about Forts Henry and Donelison? And Peninsular Campaign?

i'm confused about those battles, can someone give me a little info on them? thank you, it's appreciated.
 
The Monitor (Union) won that naval battle in the Chesapeake Bay, because the Merrimack was not as maneuverable.

The Army of the Potomac, in the Peninsular Campaign was commanded by Union Gen. McClellan attempted to surround Richmound and end the war swiftly. But Gen. Lee rushed into Richmound and successfully defended it with a series of victories in the Seven Days Battles. Thus ending a chance to end the war quickly and degrading Union support back home even further.

Sorry I dont know much about Forts Henry and Donelison. Was Henry the Confederate one that never was taken in North Carolina?
