Army of Mississippi, under General. Albert Sidney Johnston and second in command P. G. T. Beauregard, launched a surprise attack on Grants army from its base in Corinth, Mississippi.

Gen. Don Carlos Buell. This allowed them to launch an unexpected counterattack the next morning which completely reversed the Confederate gains of the previous day. On April 6, the first day of the battle, the Confederates struck with the intention of driving the Union defenders away from the river and into the swamps of Owl Creek to the west. Johnston hoped to defeat Grants army before the anticipated arrival of General Buells Army of the Ohio. The Confederate battle lines became confused during the fierce fighting, and Grants men instead fell back to the northeast, in the direction of Pittsburg Landing.

Wallaces divisions, provided critical time for the remainder of the Union line to stabilize under the protection of numerous artillery batteries. Wallace was mortally wounded when the position collapsed, while several regiments from the two divisions were eventually surrounded and surrendered. General Johnston was shot in the leg and bled to death while personally leading an attack. Beauregard, his second in command, acknowledged how tired the army was from the days exertions and decided against assaulting the final Union position that night. Tired but unfought and well organized men from Buells army and a division of Grants army arrived in the evening of April 6 and helped turn the tide the next morning, when the Union commanders launched a counterattack along the entire line. Confederate forces were forced to retreat from the area, ending their hopes of blocking the Union advance into northern Mississippi. The Battle of Shiloh was the bloodiest battle in American history up to that time. It was eventually superseded that coming September by the Battle of Antietam an overall bloodier battle, and still the bloodiest single day in American military history, then the next year by the Battle of Chancellorsville, and, soon after, the three day Battle of Gettysburg, which would prove to be the bloodiest overall battle of the war. Background and planseditMilitary situationeditKentucky Tennessee, 1. Tennessee Alabama, 1. After the losses of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February 1. Confederate General. Albert Sidney Johnston withdrew his forces into western Tennessee, northern Mississippi, and Alabama to reorganize. Johnston established his base at Corinth, Mississippi, the site of a major railroad junction and strategic transportation link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi River, but left the Union troops with access into southern Tennessee and points farther south via the Tennessee River. In early March, Union Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck, then commander of the Department of the Missouri, ordered Grant to remain at Fort Henry, and on March 4 turned field command of the expedition over to a subordinate, Brig. Gen. C. F. Smith, who had recently been nominated as a major general. Various writers assert that Halleck took this step because of professional and personal animosity toward Grant however, Halleck shortly restored Grant to full command, perhaps influenced by an inquiry from President. Abraham Lincoln. 1. Smiths orders were to lead raids intended to capture or damage the railroads in southwestern Tennessee. Brig. Gen. William Tecumseh Shermans troops arrived from Paducah, Kentucky, to conduct a similar mission to break the railroads near Eastport, Mississippi. Halleck also ordered Grant to advance his Army of West Tennessee soon to be known by its more famous name, the Army of the Tennessee on an invasion up the Tennessee River. Grant left Fort Henry and headed upriver south, arriving at Savannah, Tennessee, on March 1. Grants troops set up camp farther upriver five divisions at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, and a sixth at Crumps Landing, four miles from Grants headquarters. Meanwhile, Hallecks command was enlarged through consolidation of Grants and Buells armies and renamed the Department of the Mississippi. With Buells Army of the Ohio under his command, Halleck ordered Buell to concentrate with Grant at Savannah. Buell began a march with much of his army from Nashville, Tennessee, and headed southwest toward Savannah. Halleck intended to take the field in person and lead both armies in an advance south to seize Corinth, Mississippi, where the Mobile and Ohio Railroad linking Mobile, Alabama, to the Ohio River intersected the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. The railroad was a vital supply line connecting the Mississippi River at Memphis, Tennessee to Richmond, Virginia. Opposing forces and initial movementseditWestern Theater in early 1.

Of the six divisions encamped on the western side of the Tennessee River in early April, only Lew Wallaces 3rd Division was at Crumps Landing the remainder were farther south upriver at Pittsburg Landing. Grant developed a reputation during the war for being more concerned with his own plans than with those of the enemy. His encampment at Pittsburg Landing displayed his most consequential lack of such concernhis army was spread out in bivouac style, with many of his men surrounding a small, log meetinghouse named Shiloh Church Shiloh was a biblical city that served as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel, passing the time waiting for Buells army with drills for his many raw troops without establishing entrenchments or other significant defensive measures. In his memoirs, Grant reacted to criticism of his lack of entrenchments Besides this, the troops with me, officers and men, needed discipline and drill more than they did experience with the pick, shovel and axe. I concluded that drill and discipline were worth more to our men than fortifications. Lew Wallaces division was 5 miles 8.
