Leading up to the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862, tensions were escalating in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. Union forces, under General Ulysses S. Grant, were advancing into Tennessee, aiming to capture key Confederate strongholds. The Confederate Army, commanded by General Albert Sidney Johnston, sought to launch a surprise attack to halt Union advances and regain control over the region. This culminated in the fierce battle near Shiloh Church, where both sides experienced significant casualties and strategic consequences.

In the novel "Shiloh" by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, three significant events escalate the conflict: first, the discovery of the dog, Shiloh, which leads to moral dilemmas about ownership and loyalty; second, the growing tension between the protagonist, Marty, and his father over the dog's fate; and third, Marty's confrontation with the dog's abusive owner, Judd Travers, which intensifies the stakes as Marty must stand up for what he believes is right. These events highlight themes of compassion, responsibility, and the struggle for justice.
