Charge of General Grant, Battle of Shiloh, Tennessee, April 1862, (1862-1867). Shiloh was a major battle in the Western Theatre of the American Civil War. The Confederates under General Albert Johnston launched a surprise attack on General Ulysses S Grant's Army of West Tennessee. After initial success the Confederates were eventually forced to retreat by Union counter-attacks. At the time the battle was the bloodiest in American history, with over 10,000 casualties on either side. Johnston himself, at the time regarded as the Confederacy's leading general, was killed during the battle.
