The North and South clashed at Shiloh because a month after the victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, Ulysses S. Grant gathered his troops there, and about a month later, Confederate soldiers showed up and attacked the Union forces. Following afterwards, Grant reorganized what was left of his troops, and counterattacked the Confederates.
