Following the bloody yet decisive Federal victory at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6th - 7th, Union Major General Henry Wager Halleck begins formulating a plan for his Department of the Mississippi and its three subordinate armies under Grant, Buell, and Pope to seize Corinth, Mississippi - the “Crossroads of the Confederacy.” If Halleck’s forces can capture this crucial railroad junction - one of the only rail links to the Eastern Theater in the West - it would help secure Union rail lines in the area and cripple the Confederacy’s ability to move troops around the various theaters of war. But the overcautious Halleck soon settles into a siege around Corinth, wishing to avoid repeating the bloodletting of Shiloh and thus allowing Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard time to try and evacuate his forces from the Army of Mississippi out of Corinth before they are surrounded and destroyed.
