The Battle of Gainesville was a Confederate victory. Confederate General Robert E. Lee risked the protection of Richmond by sending 50,000 troops against Union forces. Confederate General John B. Hood broke the entrenched Union lines forcing Union General George B. McClellan to plan a mass retreat eastward to his main base on the Peninsula, Harrison's Landing.
