"[about the Civil War] Evening of April 6, 1862. The guns that roared all day fell silent, around a little church called the Shiloh Meeting House. Many a man had met his God that Sunday... but not in church... It had been the bloodiest day of the war on the Western Front. In the morning it had looked like a Confederate victory, but by nightfall, no man dared use the words "win" or "lose." After Shiloh, the South never smiled."
