The Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862, was significant for its high casualty rates, making it one of the bloodiest battles in the American Civil War, with over 23,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing. It marked a turning point in the war, as Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant gained a crucial victory, which helped secure control of the Mississippi River and opened the way for further Union advances into the Confederate South.
