Note
The Battle of Shiloh occurred on 6 and 7 April 1862 in Tennessee. It was a narrow Union victory as the Confederates broke off first, both sides exhausted after two days locked in combat on a battlefield roughly four miles square. Combined, the armies suffered 25,000 casualties. The battle began on Easter Sunday and is named after Shiloh Church, a Methodist meeting house.
