Siege of Corinth - Confederate Siege Lines
Construction of the Confederate earthworks known as the “Beauregard Line” began in the weeks preceding the Battle of Shiloh. The project was accelerated when the Confederate army returned to Corinth in defeat and prepared to defend the city against the Union who had seized the initiative.
