Shiloh

The site of a battle on the Tennessee River in 1862, the second year of the Civil War. It is famous as an important Northern victory in this stage of the war near the Mississippi River.

Shiloh shocked leaders on both sides for the incredible casualties, which numbered more than ten thousand on each side. Hopes for a quick war were dashed.
