## Resource

The Confederates came closer to victory at Shiloh than most people realize. After driving Ulysses S. Grant's army across miles of battlefield on April 6, 1862, it looked like the South might destroy an entire Union army in a single day. Instead, delays, confusion, exhaustion, and lost opportunities turned one of the Confederacy's greatest chances into one of its most painful failures.
