This is debatable. It resulted in Robert E. Lee losing more men, but Gen. George McClellan had retreated. Technically, Lee won. This battle occur from June 25 to July 1 1862.
These battles put the Union army out of action for weeks.
The Union failed miserably in the Peninsula Campaign (Seven Days Battle was part of the Peninsula Campaign of George McClellan- Federal or Union side). Lee had just taken command of the Confederate troops, renaming them to the Army of Northern Virginia. McClellan, although a brilliant organizer, was not a field strategist. His intent was to bring enough firepower up the James to take Richmond without putting his beloved troops through mass bloody battles by using sheer overwhelming firepower & force. Lee not only successfully blocked Federal troops from seizing Richmond, but chased them all the way back down to the James River (Malvern Hill), with less soldiers, firepower and supplies then the Federals had. Using clever tactics Lee had McClellan believing he was outnumbered and about to be overwhelmed at any moment from day one of the Seven Days Battle (a series of battles occurring in just seven days). In fact, by the third night, McClellan gave up his attack plans altogether and retreated back to the James and was not even in command of the Union troops for the rest of the campaign. Had he carried out his original plan he would have taken Richmond and the war would have ended much earlier. The only clear Confederate victory throughout the entire campaign was at the Battle of Gaines Mill on day 3. The Union had it hands down at Malvern Hill, the last day of the Seven Days Battle, but still retreated. More then 36,000 lives total were lost during the Seven Days Battle: 15,849 from the Union, and 20,614 from the Confederacy.
