What made Major General US Grant believe that the Battle of Shiloh would bring the US Civil War to a rapid end?
ChuckSiata
The 1862 US Civil War Battle of Shiloh had produced the largest number of casualties to that point in the war. There were approximately 29,000 casualties in total with the South bearing almost 10,000. General Grant believed that the South would be unable to sustain such losses and continue to defend itself. Although the Union had a slightly higher number of losses in the battle, Grant realized that the Union had the ability to recruit soldiers from its larger population. He therefore concluded that the South, in the face of absorbing more combat losses would end their rebellion.
