America’s Civil War: July 1997 From the EditorArchives | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Three months later, when Pillow shamelessly concurred in the needless surrender of thousands of Confederate troops at Fort Donelson, Grant was once again the recipient of an outright gift. It made his reputation as “Unconditional Surrender” Grant, even as it destroyed whatever vestiges survived of Pillow’s own military standing. True to form, Pillow sought to blame his failure there on others. “This thing began at that court-martial in Mexico,” he alleged. And, in an ironic way, he was right.
