On the first day of the US Civil War Battle of Shiloh, the Confederates led by Albert S. Johnston took the Union forces by surprise and gained all the momentum. They pushed the Union forces to a point where the river was their rear guard. One the second day of the battle, however, fresh troops under the command of Union General Buell, gave the Union a tremendous troop advantage and their assault on the Rebels reversed the momentum, forcing the Southern army to retreat.
