Best Answer

The most famous case of an accidental win was Antietam in September 1862, when a copy of Lee's orders was dropped in the field and taken to Union headquarters. They revealed important tactical movements, which gave McLellan the advantage.

However McLellan did not win many other battles, and certainly not by accident.
