The Battle of Shiloh, fought on April 6-7, 1862, was a significant early engagement in the American Civil War. Major events included the surprise attack by Confederate forces under General Albert Sidney Johnston on the Union army led by General Ulysses S. Grant, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. The second day saw reinforcements arrive for the Union, allowing them to counterattack and ultimately force the Confederates to retreat. The battle highlighted the brutal nature of the war and underscored the need for better preparedness on both sides.

Ulysses S. Grant.

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.

The Battle of Shiloh, took place April 6-7, 1862.

The reason for the battle of Shiloh was to stop trade so the south would surrender.

The Battle of Shiloh took place on the west side of the River Tennessee, close to Pittsburg Landing, near the border of Mississippi.

This was considered a Union victory, despite the fact that the Union forces - comprised of Grant's Army of the Tennessee and Buell's Army of the Ohio - actually suffered more casualties than their Confederate counterparts. Confederate forces, commanded by Generals Albert Sidney Johnson and P.T. Beauregard not only retreated after the Union forces received reinforcements, but failed in their objective of stopping Grant's army from controlling vital railroads and waterways to Southern strongholds, thus opening the door for subsequent Union victories at Memphis and Vicksburg. Moreover, the C.S.A. troops at Shiloh were more poorly equipped and inexperienced in battle, allowing the Union to win smaller skirmish victories while pursuing several disarrayed Confederate battalions retreating after the major bloody battle had finished.

In short, the Union strategically out-maneuvered the Confederacy at Shiloh and, despite the Confederates' advantage of launching a surprise attack, Union forces held their ground (for the most part) and caused Johnson and Beauregard to retreat with troops in much worse shape than their enemy, leaving the South vulnerable to further attacks.

There was a church called Shiloh near the battle feild. Shiloh means place of peace in Hebrew.

In the Battle of Shiloh, most infantrymen carried muskets and/or calibers. Cannons were used as well.

The answer is General Ulysses S. Grant.

Ulysses S. Grant and Don Carlos Buell .

Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant, including William T. Sherman, camped on the Tennessee River at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn. (near Shiloh Church), in preparation for an offensive. Confederate forces under A.S. Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard attacked, surprising the Union troops and forcing their retreat, though Johnston was mortally wounded. A Union counterattack the next day regained the lost ground, and the Confederates withdrew to Corinth, Miss. Both sides claimed victory, but the battle was considered a Confederate defeat. Each side suffered about 10,000 casualties.

The Hornets Nest was a place on the battlefield. The Union forces fell back when the Confederates rapidly advanced through the campsite early on the morning of 6 April. The re-grouped along a road that ran along the edge of some woods. The Confederate General Ruggle collected 66 cannon and began firing into this group of Union soldiers and the infantry advanced to attack it. The firing became so heavy that someone commented that bullets were flying thicker than a hornet's nest. The name stuck.
