The Union won the Battle of Shiloh, fought from April 6 to 7, 1862, primarily due to their strong defensive positions and effective reinforcements. Initially surprised by a Confederate attack led by General Albert Sidney Johnston, Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant regrouped and received critical support from General Don Carlos Buell's troops. The Union's ability to counterattack and hold their ground on the second day ultimately led to a decisive victory, allowing them to gain control of important strategic locations in Tennessee.
