The Battle of Williamsburg was fought on May 5,1862, during the early stage of the Peninsular Campaign.
A Confederate force of 31,800 men, occupying a strong position some miles east of Williamsburg, managed to repeal the attack against its center brought by two Federal divisions and retired unharmed that night up to the Peninsula,
succeeding to avoid of being encircled by an outflanking movement led by a third Union division.
The successful delaying action was so effective to further convince McClellan he was facing a superior Confederate army and made him therefore to resume his advance toward Richmond in an overcautious way which allowed the Confederates to gain more precious time.
