Answer:
Sitting Bull (c. 1831-1890) was a Teton Dakota Native American chief who united the Sioux tribes of the American Great Plains against the white settlers taking their tribal land. The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty granted the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota to the Sioux, but when gold was discovered there in 1874, the U.S. government ignored the treaty and began to remove native tribes from their land by force.
The ensuing Great Sioux Wars culminated in the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, when Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse led united tribes to victory against General George Armstrong Custer. Sitting Bull was shot and killed by Indian police officers on Standing RocPlz k Indian Reservation in 1890, but is remembered for his courage in defending native lands.

The battle you're thinking of is the battle of Shiloh, also known as the battle of Pittsburg Landing in 1862, where general Grant and his army were encamped at Pittburg Landing (hence the name), where they arrived the day before the battle. On the next day, Aprlil 6th, general Grant and his army were surprised early in the morning, before 6 am, by a Confederate army under the leadership of Gen. Johnson, who was in fact killed during the battle.
It could be argued that the "serf" was the "property" of the land during the Middle Ages, since under the feudal system that reigned supreme during this time, serfs (or peasants) had very little rights of their own.
