Only that it was one of those 'If's'
It could have been an important victory for the Union under Burnside, but he was delayed crossing the river - the pontoons hadn't arrived - and Lee and Jackson were given time to occupy unassailable high ground.
The doomed battle was followed by the demoralising 'mud march' (poor Burnside was even unlucky with the weather) and the army was given a new commander Joe Hooker.
He too had a chance to defeat Lee, but the latter General wrong-footed him badly at the next battle, Chancellorsville.

No Shiloh was not the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War. The Battle of Gettysburg holds that distinction.
