The Union did not lose the Battle of Shiloh; rather, it was a hard-fought victory for Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant. Initially, the Union was surprised by a Confederate attack led by General Albert Sidney Johnston, which resulted in significant casualties and pushed Union troops back. However, reinforcements arrived the next day, allowing Grant to launch a counteroffensive that ultimately secured a Union victory. The battle highlighted the brutal nature of the Civil War and the need for better preparedness on both sides.
