Slavery in Tennessee
IMPROVEMENT
After the battle of Fort Donelson, Grant occupied the strong strategic position of Pittsburg Landing on the left bank of the Tennessee River and was waiting for Bank's Army of Ohio to join his Army of Tennessee (Union).
Grant was aware that the Confederates were concentrating near Corinth in order to give battle. He didn't expect it before a couple of day, but the enemy army were already next to him and about to attack. So he didn't give any order to stand by for an impeding fighting. The only defensive measure was limited to the activity of large reconnaissance patrols, which though touching in contact with enemy could not ascertain their real strength and deployment.
So the Confederate Army as a whole remained practically undetected and was already deploying to develop a devastating surprise assault which started on April 6, 1862 in the early morning, starting the battle.
