 * Outcome of Battle of Shiloh**

In the battle of Shiloh the union casualties were 13,047 and the confedrate casualty was 10,699. The union claimed the battle to be theirs. General Grant would have lost the battle to the confederate army if General Buell did not show up, he helped launch a counter and attack forcing the confederate states to retreat the bloodiest battle in American history up to that time, ending their hopes that they could block the Union advance into northern Mississippi.
