Best Answer

The Confederates caught Major General US Grant napping and put on a terrific assault that would have overwhelmed him, had it been continued. Grant's forces outnumbered the attacking Confederates.

But Grant's troops rallied the next morning, helped by 20,000 troops under General Buell.
