Not really. The Confederate goal in attacking the Yankees at Shiloh had been to destroy the Yankee forces and drive them out of central and western Tennessee. Since the Yankees won, all they achieved was more secure possession of those areas.

NEW RESPONDENT

On Apr. 8, 1862, the Confederates surrendered the Island Number 10 to General Pope's Army. 3 generals, 6,976 men, 123 heavy guns, 35 field guns and 7,000 small arms fell in Union hand.

The victory opened the Mississippi to Federal navigation as far south as Fort Pillow.

Furthermore the Union victory at Shiloh led to the evacuation of Corinth by the Confederates in May 1862.
