Best Answer

It had no great significance.

It was costly in casualties on both sides, and was more-or-less a draw in tactical terms.

The Confederates did withdraw, but they were still barring the way to Chattanooga. And it would take Rosecrans a few months to get his battered army back into shape.

Perhaps this notional victory offered the Government a little good cheer, to offset the miserable reports coming in from Virginia at the time of Burnside's Mud March.
