This animated historical documentary covers the Battle of Shiloh which was fought in 1862 within the American Civil War between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America. Shiloh was the biggest battle in the first phase of the war between the North and the South and largely decided the fate of the Western Theatre of the conflict. Union forces were commanded by Ulysses S. Grant and Don Carlos Buell, while the Confederacy troops were led by Albert Sidney Johnston and Pierre-Gustave Toutant de Beauregard. The sides suffered almost 25 thousand casualties.

A documentary about a civil war battle that is not Gettysburg, what a time to be alive

I live near the Shiloh battlefield and have been out there several times. Fun Fact: The Union gunboats weren't able to adjust their cannons high enough due to the steep banks of the Tennessee River. They were still able to shell the Confederate troops by skipping the cannon balls of the banks of the river.

"I can't spare this man, he fights" No words could better describe General Grant

Shiloh...one of the most important and under-appreciated battles of the American Civil War!

Lee knew how to win battles but Grant figured out how to win the war. Mass mobilization, total war, attrition. One of the founders of modern warfare.

Sherman: "Well Grant, it's been the Devil's own day." Grant: "A'yup. ... We'll whip'em tomorrow though."

JOHNSTON needs a caption. Johnston didn't ignore his wounds. He had no feeling in the leg due to injury's from the Mexican-American War. Didn't realize he was shot until right before he died. Not a huge deal but, that map is all over the place missing rivers and most of the cities look out of place. Raleigh on the coast is called Wilmington Still love the Video

My 5x great-grandfather took a mini ball in the belly at Shiloh. He was an Lt fighting with the Illinois regular militia. Family history said he never was the same after that battle, I think his mind was more injured than his body.

The American Civil War is so interesting to me, I'm so glad your covering this. I also love learning about the Revolutionary War

My Great Great Great Grandfather was captured in this battle as part of the 18th Wisconsin Infantry in General Prentis's group. Thanks so much for this little documentary Its very well done and very cool to have it laid out what my ancestor went through.

US: Yo! Mexico im kicking the CS ass here, how are you holding the French? Mexico: Fine!..... everything its on fire in the background

Yall should do one for the Battle of the Wilderness from the US Civil War. That was a chaotic battle with a lot of strategy and sound tactics by both with mother nature throwing a wrench into both sides.

My grandparents lived in Savannah, TN. I remember going to see the battlefield when I was a teenager. Such a surreal experience. Thanks for the great video.

Corinth...is this Pelopponnesian War?🤔😂

I enjoyed this 4 years later! It was kind of surreal for US Civil War information to be talked about in kilometers and numbers shown on screen with a period as the 1000's separator. It's all in line with how this channel does videos, it just really stood out because of the topic.

Thanks for covering one of the most important battles of the Civil War. The loss of General Johnson was a major loss for the Confederacy . The loss of the Missippi River was one factor which doomed the CSA.
