The Battle of Shiloh
The Battle
of Shiloh took place on April 6th and 7th, 1862 in Hardin
County, Tennessee on the Pittsburg Landing. The Union won when the
Confederacy attack on April 6 was stalled, so the Union
drove them away from the battle field on April 7. The Union had 66,812 soldiers
and the Confederate states had 44,699 soldiers. The victory for the North gave
Tennessee to the Union. This led to the loss of the Confederacy at Vicksburg.
The battle of Shiloh was fought as a surprise attack on Grant’s camps around
Shiloh church.
