September 17th the battle began at dawn and the unions shot first at Lee's troops. This particular battle lasted 3 hours.The union lost approximately 12,400 men and the confederates almost 11,000 men. This showed that the union could stand against the confederate army. From a military standpoint, neither side was considered victorious in this battle. The outcome though resulted in Lee's troops retreating from Maryland and the Union's territory. President Abraham was in a was let down that Gen. McClellan didnt try battling the confederates more while they were wounded and retreating. Its possible a more harder pursue could have ended the Civil War sooner.

The battle of Fredericksburg was fought December 11-15 1862.  It consisted of 200,000 combatants, the largest concentration of troops in any Civil War battle. The newly appointed commander, Ambrose Burnside ordered more than 120,000 troops to cross the Rappahannock River where they made an attack on the right and left flanks of Lee's 80,000 troops at Fredericksburg. The outcome resulted an nearly 13,000 heavy casualties for the Union, as compared to 6,00 for the confederates, which caused the Union's morale to plummet. In return this gave the confederates more of an optimistic outlook after the previous loss from Lee's first invasion of the North at Antietam.

The battle of Gettysburg took place in Adams County, Philadelphia on July 1-3, 1863. This three day battle had more than 50,000 casualties. During the war he Unions are able to hold their ground against the Confederates attacks. At the end of the war the though it has Lee retreating to the south with injured troops. STILL he manages to get away,instead of being pursued by the Unions. This to some extent leads to another two years because of how he was not forced to surrender. Abraham stated "We had only to stretch forth our hands & they were ours", probably in disappointment/frustration again that the men in charge are not taking enough action to defeat Lee. 60% casualties for the Confederates was a lot of damage. Ultimately, this particular battle ended victorious for the Union's, just if only Lee was conquered it could have been a bigger success.
