What Happened After the Battle of Shiloh? 

Why do I respect this channel ? Because the Politics are left out leaving only truth and facts .

Just found this channel today. I love the narration it really brings the history to life. Will be watching all your vids

The significance of this battle is under rated. It was Shiloh that led Lincoln to accept that he was going to have to fight a completely different type of war . From that point onward Lincoln realized the confederacy was going to have to be destroyed and built back up into a new economy. The first strike was emancipation of slavery then later on a total war on the economy and its civilians as demonstrated by Sherman. It was not till Grant took charge that a general finally had a plan that Lincoln agreed with so that he could leave the fighting to Grant.

Threads you are apparently fairly recent in the beginnings of your Civil War videos according to the dates of your postings. I watch many Civil War videos, subscribing to few. Just got back to California after visiting Gettysburg, Antetam, Mannassas, Harpers Ferry. Studied much about that horrible war before my journey. You present the history of it so very well. Subscribed.

My third great grandfather from Arkansas was one of the wounded Confederate officers being evacuated from the battle field. I had five ancestor family members who fought at Shiloh. Some of them Union and some Confederate. My Union gg grandfather from Ohio fought head to head with my Confederate ggg grandfather and his brother. I had a gg uncle from Iowa who was sent home from Shiloh to die from his wounds. Some how he survived. He also fought head to head against my Confederate family. There was another uncle from Ohio who came on the second day of the battle as a reinforcement. I don't think he saw much combat in that battle but later in the war he also was badly wounded and disfigured for life. What a horrible chapter in US history.

Two of my ancestors who were in an Ohio regiment became very ill after the battle due to polluted water. One died, and the other was in the hospital for a year.

Great story telling. I visited the Shiloh Battlefield Military Park. It is touching and unexpectedly sad, especially the Hornet's Nest, the Peach Orchard, Bloody Pond and the place where Albert Sidney Johnson died, all within a short walk.

Most excellent.

Shiloh was a close call for Grant- if he hadn't have won there he may not have gone on to become the most important Union general

Grant was caught with pants down, no doubt about it. He was out of town, literally. But Grant responded swiftly and made sure his men knew they were not out of the fight. He held his army together in slow retreat so they could "fight another day." That day turned out to be the next day. Uncanny reversal of fortune, orchestrated by U.S. Grant.

Shiloh was a terrible deathblow to the Confederates. Lincoln was happy. Davis was glum to the bone. Jeffy David knew he was living on borrowed time. Crash! Bang! Boom! Yow!!!😢😢

Id like to know more about the burials of the 300 men or so that died on the retreat to corinth. Are they still scattered up and down the road still today? Any recovered later by families? Shiloh is the most fascinating campaign of the war to me.

Another narrative masterpiece. Sir. I wish you would have been one if my high school teachers, then maybe I would have listened with more enthusiasm. Thank you

This channel is getting SO awesome!!!

Yet Lee sent not one Man to help when Grant was making his push to Vicksburg!

Union or Constitution? When you can't have both, which do you choose to save?

Can anyone identify the haunting guitar tune that is played at 7 minutes into this video? I'd like to learn it.
