The Confederates had taken Grant by surprise, and nearly pushed that army into the Tennessee River. Then their commander was killed, and Grant's reinforcements arrived. So they had to retreat.
The Battle of Shiloh was also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing. Pittsburg landing was a steamboat landing place on the south bank of the Tennessee River, where the Yankees had made their camp. Shiloh Church was a tiny local church in the vicinity.
It was the biggest battle ever fought in America up to that time. It was the first major Union victory. The Confederate commander killed there (Sidney Johnston) was regarded as the best General in the South. Although Grant was criticised for his conduct on the first day, this battle spelt the end for Confederate power in Western Tennessee. Shiloh was where Grant and Sherman began their successful partnership.
