This series of victories revealed Lee's quality as a dynamic fighter and winner, as McClellan's Peninsula campaign petered out.

The Confederacy was now gaining credibility abroad and looking for the first time like viable new nation, worthy of recognition.

This seriously worried Lincoln, and would lead to his issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which changed the war-aims and greatly affected its eventual
