Public opinion spoke of the large number of deaths that the battle produced, they thought it was incredible the number of deaths, injuries and losses that the battle produced.

The battle of Shiloh, was the greatest confrontation on the western stage of the American Civil War, held between April 6 and 7, 1862, southwest of Tennessee. The forces of the Confederate states, under the command of Generals Albert Sidney Johnston and P. G. T. Beauregard, launched a surprise attack on the Union Army led by Major General Ulysses S. Grant, being close to defeating them.

General Buell's reinforcements arrived at dusk and they turned the situation around the next morning, when Grant launched a counterattack along with the entire front line. The Confederates were forced to withdraw from the bloodiest battle recorded in the history of the United States until that moment, ending their hopes of blocking the invasion of Union forces advancing from the north of the Mississippi.

What is it important that the soviet union launched the space satellite?

mixas84 [53]

"The Sputnik launch changed everything. As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off-guard. Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-pound payload. In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on November 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika.
The Sputnik launch also led directly to the creation of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In July 1958, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act (commonly called the "Space Act"), which created NASA as of October 1, 1958 from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and other government agencies."- https://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/
