At the Battle of Shiloh, Buell reinforced Grant with about 20,000 men. This helped Grant defeat the confederates.

On October 8, 1862, Buell caught Bragg's force at Perryville, Kentucky. Buell thought this to be a victory. However, this was more of a draw in my opinion. This was largely due to the fact that Buell failed to follow the Confederates. He says this was because of lack of supplies.
-
Complaints were made about Buell. This was largely due to his inability to follow orders.
-
Buell awaits orders that never arrive. On June 1, 1864, Buell resigns due to lack of volunteers.
