Question

How did the North win the battle of Shiloh?

Answer 1

Hint: Hint- We need to know that the Battle of Shiloh was the second great arrangement of the American Civil War. It was fought in southwestern Tennessee and resulted in the victory of the North. The war had large casualties for both sides. It was won by The Union which had about \[13,000\] casualties and the Confederates lost with about \[11,000\] casualties.

Complete answer:
1. The battle of Shiloh began when Union General Grant brought his army down the Tennessee River. The Union occupation of Corinthians allowed the Yankees to control all of western Tennessee.
2. The Confederates didn’t wait for Grant to attack and tried driving the Yankees back but could not break the Union lines. General Johnston was killed. After his death, Beauregard took the charge.
3. On April\[7\], \[1862\], Grant joined Buell’s army and counterattacked. It costed heavy casualties on the Yankees. By dusk, the Union drove the Confederates back to the church.
The Confederates finally staggered back to Corinth, giving a major victory to Grant.
4. The victory was costly in terms of casualties on both sides. \[13000\] of Grant’s and approximately \[62000\]troops were killed, wounded, and were found missing. \[10000\] of the Confederates and around \[45000\] were killed, wounded, and were found missing.
5. The battle was led by Grant, Confederate Johnston, Don Buell, and Confederate Beauregard. It exceeded the previous losses of the Revolutionary War, the War of \[1812\], and the Mexican – American war, all combined.

Note: We need to remember that The Battle of Shiloh was won by The Union in the North. The Confederate’s defeat in the battle ended all its hopes to block the Union’s advance into Mississippi. Two days of heavy fighting was concluded in Pittsburg in western Tennessee.
