Grant was not allowed to maintain the momentum set-up by his victory at Shiloh, and the Western operations slowed down as General-in-Chief Halleck divided the Western forces into three and gave them separate tasks.
One army was meant to safeguard Kentucky against Confederate invasion, but in the end Kentucky was only saved by the unexplained retreat of the Confederates, with no credit due to the Union commander.
Another army was put to work repairing railroads.
The third, under Grant, was ordered to hold Western Tennessee, and only allowed to take the offensive because Lincoln was personally worried about the North-West losing interest in the war, if the Mississippi was not liberated.
