Shiloh National Military Park
Shiloh, TN
Shiloh National Military Park preserves the site of one of the earliest and bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. The park interprets the strategic importance of the battle and its impact on the Union war effort, which ultimately led to the emancipation of enslaved people.
Counter-Narrative
The myth this site refutes: that Black Americans were not trusted to fight for the country. They fought — and were still denied the rights they defended.
