Grant's unawareness that there were any Confederates in the area.

They noted that his men were resting easy by the Tennessee river, and launched a surprise assault that would have overwhelmed them, had it been continued. But the Confederate commander called a halt for the night, and by next morning Grant's troops had rallied, helped by reinforcements from the East.
