With almost 24,000 casualties, the Battle of Shiloh was known for being the costliest battle in U.S. history, at that point. Despite a victory on the Union side, Grant's reputation was tarnished after the Battle of Shiloh because journalists reported that he was drunk and unprepared for the battle. It also showed both sides that the war would be long and bloody because this particularly costly battle seemed to have little effect on ending the war sooner.
