The fact that I remember best about the casualties (Not dead) at Shiloh is that the ~23,000 on both sides were more than those in all the wars the US had fought to that date. It was a real shock to those people on both sides who thought it would be a short war...
10,360. There were a total of over 20,000 soldiers lost from both sides in that battle.

Shiloh was a turning point battle in the Western theatre of the war..Both sides were mangled in the battle, which saw early Confederate success reversed later in the day. Bloody Shiloh was one of the deadliest days of the war, with both sides suffering greatly. apex:It slowed down the Union conquest of the Mississippi area
if you are asking for both Union and Confederate combined, over 23,000.
The first day of the battle ended in stalemate with both sides planning to attack the next day. The Union received reinforcements at night, that came by steamship on the river, and the next day they were able to defeat the Southern soldiers. It was a very bloody battle, with both sides losing very many people.

None. It was a naval battle.
The geography of dense forests and uneven terrain at the Battle of Shiloh hindered communication and troop movements for both sides. The close quarters also intensified the fighting and made it difficult for commanders to gain a full view of the battlefield. Additionally, the many streams and ravines in the area created obstacles and bottlenecks for soldiers during the battle.
ABOUT 75,000 soldiers on both sides. See the link below.
After the Battle of Shiloh, soldiers on both sides experienced a profound shift in mood as the brutal realities of war became starkly evident. Many were initially filled with enthusiasm and a sense of glory, but the heavy casualties and chaotic nature of the battle led to feelings of disillusionment, fear, and sorrow. To cope with these new realities, soldiers often turned to camaraderie, shared experiences, and religious faith, seeking solace in friendships and the belief that their sacrifices served a greater purpose. Additionally, some resorted to writing letters home, which provided emotional relief and a connection to life before the war.
the confederate soldiers ate cornbread and salted meat with molasses and sweet tea
The Union had victory!both sides claimed victory but it was the union who actually won
