  It was the night of the Last Supper, and Jesus and his disciples had gathered in an upper room to share a meal together. As they reclined at the table, Jesus spoke solemnly to his disciples, foretelling of the trials and tribulations that lay ahead. 
  "Truly I tell you," Jesus said, "one of you will betray me." 
  The disciples were filled with dismay and disbelief at these words, each one wondering if he could be the one to betray their beloved teacher. But Peter, ever impulsive and outspoken, was the first to speak up. 
  "Lord, I would never betray you," Peter declared boldly, his voice tinged with righteous indignation. "Even if I must die with you, I will never disown you."

  Shiloh: The History of the First...

  After Union General Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in early 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, widely considered the Confederacy’s best general, concentrated his forces in northern Georgia and prepared for a major offensive that culminated with the biggest battle of the war to that point, the Battle of Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Johnston directed an all out attack on Grant’s army around Shiloh Church, and though Grant’s men had been encamped there, they had failed to create defensive fortifications or earthworks. They were also badly caught by surprise. With nearly 45,000 Confederates attacking, Johnston’s army began to steadily push Grant’s men back toward the river. 
  The Battle of Shiloh lasted two days, but the battle over the battle had just begun. Grant’s army had just won the biggest battle in the history of North America, with nearly 24,000 combined casualties among the Union and Confederate forces. Usually the winner of a major battle is hailed as a hero, but Grant was hardly a winner at Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh took place before costlier battles at places like Antietam and Gettysburg, so the extent of the casualties at Shiloh shocked the nation. Moreover, at Shiloh the casualties were viewed as needless; Grant was pilloried for allowing the Confederates to take his forces by surprise, as well as the failure to build defensive earthworks and fortifications, which nearly resulted in a rout of his army. Speculation again arose that Grant had a drinking problem, and some even assumed he was drunk during the battle. Though the Union won, it was largely viewed that their success owed to the heroics of General Sherman in rallying the men and Don Carlos Buell arriving with his army, and General Buell was happy to receive the credit at Grant’s expense.
