Lee had been attempting to invade the North, to impress the British, who were close to granting official recognition and sending military aid.
Through pure accident, the Union unexpectedly won this battle, though it was not a decisive win, and Lincoln fired McClellan for not pursuing and destroying the Army of Northern Virginia when it was vulnerable.
The outcome was a new General-in-Chief for the Union (Burnside), while McClellan would go on to stand against Lincoln in the '64 Election.
The British decided it would be premature to support the Confederates, and in the end they never did.
