As you read through most textbooks it will say that Shiloh was the Bloodiest, and it was up to that point, but there were eight (?) more worse after that.


This question was on my test! I'm sure I got it right, but I answered it the way the question was asked. I didn't try to read into like I could have.

I chose Gettysburg because from start to finish, it was the Bloodiest Battle.

I remember that this was one of the first questions I had on my test, and it reminded me to READ the entire question and answers before making my choice.

Snazz, if you do that and remind yourself not to read too much into the questions, you'll kill this test.

Let us know how you did!
