[Non-Sequitur]

...we kicked their asses, again!

Whaddya mean? Shiloh was a confederat defeat by every measure one wants to apply to it. You lost Albert Sydney Johnston, you lost Corinth, you lost western Tennessee and any chance you ever had of taking Kentucky, and you lost a good part of your army to boot.

You're right it was a Rebel defeat, although they did have some success in the early part of the battle. A large detachment of Union reserves arrived and turned the tide of battle in their favor. The Rebs finally pulled up stakes and retreated towards Corinth, MS about 20 miles away.
