The most senior Confederate General, Sidney Johnston, was killed.

U.S. Grant was the victor, although he had been taken by surprise on the first day and almost lost his army.

The politician-in-uniform John McClernand claimed that he alone had prevented this by keeping his brigade on alert. It raised his profile, but led to a long and bitter feud with Grant.

Sherman was also present, and his close partnership with Grant began here.
