 Quote
We will not build a peaceful world by
following a negative path. It is not
enough to say we will not wage war. It is
necessary to love peace and sacrifice for
it. We must concentrate not merely on
the negative expulsion of war, but on
the positive affirmation of peace.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

 Battle of Shiloh
How did the Battle of Shiloh
change the people’s view of the
Civil War?
● Union victory. The South’s
defeat at Shiloh ended the
Confederacy’s hopes of blocking
the Union advance into
Mississippi and doomed the
Confederate military initiative in
the West. With the loss of their
commander, Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, in battle, Confederate
morale plummeted.

Ámbar
 Battle of Shiloh
Despite the Union victory, Grant and his second in command,
Sherman, made tactical mistakes at Shiloh. What led to their
blunders?
● Grant's previous victories at Forts Henry and Donelson had boosted his
confidence. He believed he had the superior army and that the Confederacy would
soon collapse.

 Battle of Ft. Henry
What was the significance of the
unconditional surrender?
● President Harry Truman
believed unconditional
surrender would keep the Soviet
Union involved while reassuring
American voters and soldiers
that their sacrifices in a total war
would be compensated by total
victory.

Keiry
 Battle of Ft. Henry
Why was it important for the Union to gain access to the rivers?
● Access to the water allowed the navies to blockade, attack, and transport supplies
throughout their region. The Union needed to gain access to the Tennessee and
Cumberland Rivers in order to move their ships throughout Tennessee and beyond
as part of the plan to defeat the Confederacy.

 Battle of Ft. Donelson

What was the impact of General

Grant's victories at Fort Henry and
Fort Donelson?
● Gen. Ulysses S. Grant advanced 12
miles to invest Fort Donelson on the
Cumberland River. Operations against
Donelson were part of an amphibious
campaign launched in early 1862 to
push the Confederates out of middle
and western Tennessee, thereby
opening a path into the Southern
heartland.

Clarissa
 Battle of Ft. Donelson
What was the personal relationship between Ulysses S. Grant and
Simon B. Buckner?
● Mutual Respect and Trust.
● Buckner said that he knew the manager, and would vouch for his old friend. He
convinced the manager that Captain Grant was an honorable man and good for his
debts. Grant gained an extra day or two of room and board. No money exchanged
hands, but Buckner was a friend when a friend was needed, and Grant never
forgot.
