Best Answer

It was the first major battle after the false-start at Manassas, seven months earlier.

It saw the death in action of the Confederate commander, Sidney Johnston, rated by some as the best General in America.

It raised the credibility of U.S. Grant and brought him into contact with his successful partner and fellow-Westerner, William T. Sherman.

It was the first big Confederate loss, and the beginning of the end of Southern hopes in the Mississippi valley.
