Battle of Shiloh

I don't know how to answer it help me please

Shiloh takes its name from a small church on the battlefield of the same name. It is ironic that "Shiloh" is a Hebrew word meaning A PLACE OF PEACE. The battle is also called the Battle of Pittsburg Landing deriving this name from the small trading community on the Tennessee River which is also a part of the battlefield.

Based on all accounts by Union post war writers, Union General US Grant declared to his officers that he expected no conflict from Southern forces as he landed his troops at Pittsburg Landing in Tennessee. This was in early April of 1862 near the Church at Shiloh. Grant was so confident that he did not follow normal procedures of building fortifications. Union General Sherman, at the time defended Grant by saying that if fortifications were built it would have caused fear among the many new Union troops. This was a fatal error as Confederate General Albert S. Johnston was already on his way to indeed begin an assault on Grant before reinforcements could arrive from the north.

Confederate Major General PT Beauregard used the Shiloh church as his headquarters at the Battle of Shiloh. From there he drew up battle plans for the remainder of the two day battle as his superior officer, General Albert S. Johnston was mortally wounded.

ANSWER

On Apr.30,1862 Gen. Grant was "De facto" exonerated from his command and relegated to the function of "Vice Commander" with but no effective decision power, by Gen. Halleck. Halleck actually wanted to totally dismiss Grant for his failure to properly fortify his position. Grant was surprised by the Confederate attack on his forces.

The Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862, during the American Civil War, was a pivotal confrontation between the Union and Confederate armies near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It is known for being the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with approximately 22,000 casualties. The battle ended inconclusively, but it halted General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North, giving Union General George McClellan a strategic advantage. The aftermath of Antietam also led President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which aimed to free enslaved people in Confederate-held territory.

The battle took it's name from a church Joseph E. Johnston died after bring shot in the knee hitting a large artery

It was Albert Sidney Johnston who was killed by that shot. He was the highest ranking officer to die in the War and was most likely shot by his own men using guns that he had obtained for them just days previous. He also most likely didnt feel the wound for a while because it is possible that he had lost feeling in that part of his legs thanks to a duel that he had been in back in Texas before the war.

Abraham Lincoln was president for the entire duration of the American Civil War.

He was in Ohio delivering a speech.

The US Civil War provided numerous examples of how frontal assaults can be disasters in the wake of an entrenched enemy and the value of tactical defenses. However, at the Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862, the frontal assault by Confederate troops under the command of General Albert S. Sidney was a near success because he used the element of surprise. The battle was saved for the Union when reinforcements arrived before the dawn on April 8, 1862.

At the Battle of Shiloh, the Confederates first deployed heavy artillery in a meaningful way in the first day of the battle. The Confederate artillery was under the command of General Daniel Ruggles. This was instrumental in reducing the Union position in the so-called Hornet's Nest. This was the largest artillery attack at that time in North America.

The battle of Yorktown was fought in Virginia in 1781 during the revolutionary war. The revolutionary war was fought in order to gain independence from Great Britain. This battle ended the revolutionary war by the surrender of British General Cornwallis and America gained there independence from GB.

Based on the post war writings of Confederate General PT Beauregard, artillery played a major role in the Battle of Shiloh. It was vital that the Confederates create a Union surrender on the first day of the battle. If this had been the case, the nigh time arrival of Union General Don Carlos Buell and his 20,000 troop reinforcements would have caused Buell to retreat. As it happened, Beauregard wrote that the ability of the Union's artillery late on April 6, 1862 was the reason that the Federals under US Grant were able to avoid defeat. The Union's artillery batteries numbering 20 cannon provided an effective defense that prevented Beauregard to force a Union surrender.

Different Commanders used different Strategies for defferent engagements. Perhaps you are referring to Tactics.

The Battle of Shiloh began on April, 6, 1862, when the confederate troops of General Albert Sidney Johnston surprised some of General Ulysses Grants Union troops who camped at Shiloh Church. After one day of of the bloodiest battle at that time, the southerners had driven the Northeners far back until the Tennesse River. The battle was six miles long. During the night Gants troops surprised Johnstons troops and defeated his army. General Johnston died in that night.

The Battle of Antietam started on Sept. 17, 1862, after the union found an attack order of Robert E. Lee wrapped around some cigars. On Sept. 17th, the Confederates had about 40,000 troops while the Union had about 75,000 troops and about 25,000 more in reserve. During the first three hours about 12,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. By the end of the day, the Union had about 12.000 killed soldiers while the confederacy had about 14.000 killed soldiers. The Battle of Antietam became the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.

No battle in history has seen one million soldiers killed and wounded.The Battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburgh Landing as it was known in the North for a short time, was the bloodiest battle fought on the North American continent to that time, that is up until April of 1862. It would be surpassed several times during the course of the war. Total casualties for the battle on both sides was about 25,000 men killed or wounded. The number killed was about 1800 for the north and almost the same for the South. Many more were maimed for life. The horror of the battle shocked both the North and the South, yet these numbers would be far exceeded at both Antietam and Gettysburg.

General Albert Sidney Johnston decided to attack in three waves, respectively deploying the III, II and I Corps of his Army one behind the other astride of the road to Corinth.

From hand to hand that the advancing troops were popping out from the narrow passage between the Lick and the Owl Creek, the deployment would have to extend to the wings and the divisions of the second ands third line would file the gaps thus created by the first one.

In a memo to the Corps Commanders, Johnston was careful to specify that every effort should be made to envelop the left wing of enemy, separating it from the Tennessee River and plunging it back toward the Owl Creek, where it would be forced to surrender.

The Confederate strategy was thus based on a massive attack by surprise, whose centre of gravity on the onset directed against the centre of the Union line, was later to move against the left wing of the same, that had to be pushed away from the river, and forced westward, where it would have been shattered.

But it didn't work because of the stubborn Federals withstand, the configuration of terrain, Grant's skillful behaviour as field commander, the support given by

the gunboats and the Ohio's Army divisions, which timely arrived on the battlefield.
