Which of the following best explains why Shiloh had such an impact on America when compared to other battles? The loss of so many lives was shocking to the country. Grant had been surprised, and many in the North wanted him to be replaced. More Americans died here than in all other wars the country had been involved in combined. People figured the war would be over already
A. The loss of 23,700 men in the span of two days shocked the country. It could also be B., because Grant WAS surprised and DID have calls for him to be replaced, but I would be inclined to think it would be A.
