Answer: D. One Rebel was worth ten Yankee soldiers.

Explanation:

The Battle of Shiloh (April 1862) was one of the main first actions of the American Civil War (1861-65).

Before that, it had been said that one Rebel was worth ten Yankee soldiers, claiming that even outnumbered, the Confederates could be victorious. However, when the around 45,000 Confederates drove a surprise assault on Union troops (62,000, including Grant’s and Buell’s), despite initial victories, the rebels were soon defeated by the Union.
