The Confederate concentration of troops in advance of the Battle of Chickamauga was not unnoticed by the Union. Union General in Chief Henry W. Halleck sought to reinforce Rosencrans' army by sending troops from as faraway as Minnesota and from Georgia. By the time any reinforcements arrived the battle had already been lost.

How important was artillery in the US Civil War Battle of Shiloh?
Based on the post war writings of Confederate General PT Beauregard, artillery played a major role in the Battle of Shiloh. It was vital that the Confederates create a Union surrender on the first day of the battle. If this had been the case, the nigh time arrival of Union General Don Carlos Buell and his 20,000 troop reinforcements would have caused Buell to retreat. As it happened, Beauregard wrote that the ability of the Union's artillery late on April 6, 1862 was the reason that the Federals under US Grant were able to avoid defeat. The Union's artillery batteries numbering 20 cannon provided an effective defense that prevented Beauregard to force a Union surrender.
