Grant and Sherman were caught off-guard, not realising there were any Confederates in the area. The outstanding Southern General Sidney Johnston almost pushed the whole Union army into the Tennessee river, but called a halt for the night.
By next morning, the Union troops had rallied, helped by reinforcements under Don Carlos Buell, and Johnston was killed.
It was a significant Union victory, which ended Confederate hopes of commanding the Mississippi valley.
