In 1862, the 2- day Battle of Shiloh near the border of Tennessee and Mississippi resulted in 23,746 death. Later that year, the Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest day of the Civil War: nearly 23,000 died in just one day. In 1863, the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg were turning points in the Civil War that gave the North major advantages for the remaining years of the war. At the Battle of Chancellorsville, the Confederates lost one of their most beloved and intelligent generals, Stonewall Jackson. At Gettysburg, the deadliest event of the Civil War, the South lost due to poor military leadership and tactical failures that led to huge casualties. This battle served as a turning point because of the many casualties and loss of important military officers. Finally, at the Siege of Vicksburg, the Union finally achieved its goal of splitting the South in two, effectively isolating Texas and New Mexico from the Confederacy.
