It signalled the end of Confederate hopes of controlling Western Tennessee and the Mississippi. It also saw the death of the Confederate General Sidney Johnston, some say the best General in the South.


What are some advantages the Battle of Shiloh?

The Confederates had a big advantage - Grant didn't know they were there! Then the Confederate's top General was killed, and Grant got reinforcements. This Union win spelt the end of Confederate ascendancy in Western Tennessee.


How did the Battle of Shiloh get its name?

The biblical name "Hebrew" Shiloh means place of peace "Sha-lome" The Hardin County Tennessee Historical Society, I am pretty sure, had an article some years ago about the church and its orgin. It is my understanding that the Rheas, pronounced Ray were responsible for building the small log church. A brick church now stands on the edge of the park with a cemetary. The union named the battles after landmarks. The South usually named the battles after a town; e.g. Shiloh, Pittsburg Landing, Antietam, Sharpsburg, Bull Run Creek, Manassas Junction I & II, Pea Ridge, Elk Horn Tavern,, The Confederates attacked early in the morning near a church named Shiloh. The Union referred to this battle as Pittsburg Landing as that was the name of the dock where they landed their boats to unload troops.


How were the Battle of Dieppe and D-Day connected?

Dieppe was considered to be an invasion rehersal for the Allies, It applied none of the lessons learned in the Pacific Theatre. It was botched. They did learn some things from it that aided at Normandy. They improved their communications equipment and skills, they integrated staffing, they worked out some of the kinks in air and Naval Gunfire support and they learned not to land tanks in places where they couldn't advance off the beach head. For the Canadians it came at a terrible price. Of course at Normandy their communications and coordination were still terrible. The British Funny Tanks performed well and the Canadians were the only unit to reach their D-Day objectives. Dieppe had helped.
