General Wallace was accused of being slow to reinforce. Modern historians and archaeologists walked the distance at the battlefield and determined he came without delay.
In 1885, Grant was sent notes Wallace had written at the time by Wallace's widow and publicly exonerated the man. Wallace's route wasn't the right route but it was the right route for what Wallace understood to be the situation. Wallace's full route was 15 miles to reach a battlefield that was 6 miles away. It wasn't a speed issue, it was a few mistakes exacerbated by the fog of war, but it is easy to understand how an outside observer would confuse the two. Especially since many of the initial reports came from deserters who wouldn't know why Wallace we held up, only that he wasn't there.
I've wondered how the mayhem would've gone if Wallace had attacked from nearly-the-rear of the Confederates, upon receiving Grants order, as he briefly considered. That would be defensible to hindsight, as it would be the most direct path. The surprise might have staggered the Confederates and disrupted their attack with chaos. Regardless, I don't see Wallace deserving of the blame he got; Grant was caught flatfooted (even being in Savannah at the start, on the other side of the river, with an admin camp posture without proper pickets) and a scapegoat was needed.
I finaly made it Shiloh in 2022, after visiting many of the eastern battlefields, looking the lines and the maps. Shiloh reminded me of a bar room brawl
McClellan would've claimed his troops weren't ready. Hooker would've been too busy partying. Meade wouldn't have pursued the battle after the first day. Burnside would've - who knows how - found a way to screw it up. Grant was the man, you're right. Peace. Out.
How many people died in this battle, it’s scary to remember it. I wish that such a case would not happen in our country in the USA. I wish everything goes well in our country!
Antietam was worse. Tactics had not caught up with the change in military fire power. Pure blood bath. Worse, the generals were still stuck in this mind set up to and a little after WW1.
Confederates: 10,000 casualties Union: 13,000 casualties Both sides had over 1700 killed and over 8000 wounded. 2800 of Grant’s loses were due to troops being captured, as is alluded to in the video. Shiloh was the first battle with huge losses. It had twice as many casualties as any battle prior.
Sherman--"We've had the devil's own day Grant"! Calmly smoking a cigar and whittling on a stick..... "Lick 'em in the morning though"! I've always been amazed at his "cool as a cucumber" demeanor under severe duress! I had the chance to visit Shiloh back in '96 with my dad. Gave me the chills and the hair standing up on my neck. Walked a lot of the main sectors of battle. 64 Cannon of Ruggles battery were trained on The "hornet's nest" where Prentice's 2000 troops had to surrender. They were also becoming out flanked and enveloped. Different story on the next day!
It was the Battle of Pittsburg Landing to the south. They tended to name battles after locations. The north named it Shiloh after the landmark Shiloh church. No way would Grant have used the rebel designation.
Not really. Johnston attacked because he had to defend Corinth, MS. Grant threatened that position. He had to wait for the army of Don Carlos Buell to get a numerical advantage. Johnston had to knock out Grant, then take on Buell. He had a larger army than either of them, but together they outnumbered his. Grant was not on the battlefield when it started because he was on a steamboat upriver trying to coordinate the encampment of a second army in a wild country that could not really support one such force. Acoustic shadowing (a weird dampening of cannons' roar by hilly terrain) and Grant being hung over a bit caused him to delay getting to the field. Grant's division under Wallace was unable to reach the main force after it took the wrong road early in the day. And part of Buell's force was already on the bank of the Tennessee River upstream. The combination of the two Union armies was taking place as Johnston attacked. Grant fought the first day knowing he would win. Wallace was a ready-made reserve from his own army, and two divisions of Buell's army were on the battlefield by sunset of that first day. Grant had the Confederates shelled all night from two gunboats on the river. The next day he shoved the Confederate force off the field. The field at Shiloh was wider than at Pittsburgh landing. It narrowed like a funnel and ended with a hill fronted by a ravine. It was a natural fortress. The whole field was so small that Wallace's division was sent to bivouac at another clearing, hence their separation. Two large armies could not maneuver there. The first day the Confederates had surprise and numerical advantage. The second day the Union had surprise (all the reinforcements) and numerical advantage. The constricted field made maneuver impossible. The Battle was a big shoving match. The bigger Confederate force won the first day. The enlarged Union won the second.
That was Lincoln's decision and his orders to General Grant. I absolutely believe that if Lincoln had not been assassinated reconstruction would have been much different because Andrew Johnson did virtually nothing in terms of that.
It was certainly a shock. It was a wake up call, more for the West than back east. In Washington they called Grant a drunk and a butcher. He was neither, but he let himself get surprised, in spite of Johnston's slow approach. The leadership had to realize that the South would not back down. As this segment says, after Shiloh Grant realized that the war would be a grind. And his subsequent approach to the war was based on what he saw at Shiloh.

Unconditional Surrender Grant goes hard hearing the last line
Grant is the greatest general in the long illustrious history of the US Army.
Long?
@@wierdalien1ouch.
ROFL no
@@JG-xm5bd Daddy Macarthur sure, but Dugout? Hahahahahahah
@JG-xm5bd no he wasn't, he was a competent one. And a terrible team player.

Why do I remember the good, bad and ugly here! Clint has left an ever lasting memory.
I wanna see a show about Sherman beautiful and tremendous march to the sea.
opened a big ole can of kick ass......
This is a great video
Who is the actor portraying Grant?
Looks like a great series.
Justin Salinger it's called Grant miniseries
Thanks for the info.
Where can i watch tje miniseries
On Amazon Prime Video
Excellent and Outstanding!!!
Any of the previous generals would have run away at Shiloh and The Wilderness.
McClellan would've claimed his troops weren't ready. Hooker would've been too busy partying. Meade wouldn't have pursued the battle after the first day. Burnside would've - who knows how - found a way to screw it up. Grant was the man, you're right. Peace. Out.
@@CraigerAce hooker and mclelland were excellent generals

Which movie or tv series is this
Grant miniseries
it was and maybe still on the history channel
The great loss of life. May our country never experience this again.
It’s at our doors now
@@allamendmentsmatter731 I think you might be right.
Civil part 2
Good job GG
Come si chiama questo film ?
it´s a tv documentary-series , not a film
What movie is this please?
Grant miniseries
In his memoirs he explains the aftermath of the battle looked much worse than portrayed here.
3,482 dead on both sides. Thousands more wounded, missing, or captured. It was a butcher shop. Of course the worst was yet to come.
Making an edit on battle of shiloh would be good and as background music 'edit phonk slowed'?
He's called US Grant because that's what he got from the Confederates, Unconditional Surrender.
Пожалуйста подскажите название этого фильма или сериала, что это я хз
It was just called "Grant". It was a series on the History Channel in 2020. It may be available on Prime Video and Freevee.
Grant miniseries also check History's website but Amazon Prime Video is better
He was tenacious and lucky.
he had fortune
"Nice video" tis well saying ahh
Oh yeah, I'm literally going in right now
So yeah
@@KnoxPolkiusso yes
@@KnoxPolkiusso indeed
Why is nobody talking about the goofy thumbnail
Shiloh, surely Grant would have called it the battle of pittsburg landing
It was the Battle of Pittsburg Landing to the south. They tended to name battles after locations. The north named it Shiloh after the landmark Shiloh church. No way would Grant have used the rebel designation.
GOD bless The Federal Army
No, nobody wins that battle. It was a huge masacre.

All for the bankers!!!!!
But he let Lee's whole army go. #AppomattoxWasAMistake
Thank God he was in charge and not you.
Lee was not at Shiloh. For Lee, only Virginia mattered, to heck with the west.
That was Lincoln's decision and his orders to General Grant. I absolutely believe that if Lincoln had not been assassinated reconstruction would have been much different because Andrew Johnson did virtually nothing in terms of that.
The death must of been overwhelming for both sides, so many died !!

More soldiers died in the Civil War than all soldiers in all the wars up to WWI combined
