A couple I know of are the Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Antietam, Battle of Fredericksburg, Battle of Chancellorsville, Battle of Shiloh, Fort Wagner, Battle of Gettysburg, and at least 3 or 4 more that don't really have names. Hope this helps!

There is also the Battle of Appomatox. It was a victory for the Union troops after the Confederates surrendered.

You have to set some parameters to get any sort of reasonable answer to this. In general, historians accredit more than 10,000 hostile actions (company sized or larger...meaning at least 200 soldiers fighting) and count 361 battles as Major Battles acknowledged by the US National Park Service as most important.

If you were to include squad or platoon sized actions (ie. 10 or more soldiers in combat), the number of battles would easily exceed a quarter million.
