(My answer on Quora)
The Civil War Sites Advisory Commission (CWSAC) lists a total of 364 battles that were fought during the American Civil War. These battles are classified on a scale of A-D for significance (A being the most significant and D the least).
Putting aside Inconclusive battles it looks as though there are well about 120 battle won by the Confederacy of which Fort Sumter, First Battle of Bull Run, First Battle of Winchester, Gaines’ Mill, Second Battle of Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Mansfield, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and Crater are the most significant.
Ironically the last battle of the war , Palmito Ranch, a level D skirmish, was won by the Confederates.
