Confederate Victory.

Reason:
Despite the Confederates were suffering from heavy casualties. The Battle of Second Bull Run had been a rather decisive victory for the rebels, as Lee had been able to manage quite the strategic offense against the enemy force -which was twice the size of his own forces. Pressing his advantage after the northern Virginia campaign, Lee had launched his invasion on the North, crossed the Potomac into the western part of Maryland on the fifth of September. McClellan had joined forces with the Army of Virginia and marched northwest to block Lee's invasion.

The Confederates won, even though the Union could have halted all advances the Confederates gained.

Aug. 29 & 30, 1862: . . . . There was some [Rebel] guerrillas that were taken prisoners by some guard. . . . [T]he whole regiment went on . . . shouting and hooting at them as they passed by our camp in the morning. At 2 o’clock, the 30th, orders came for two companies to get ready to leave . . . to guard the railroad and bridge at Manasses . . . . Was very great to see the contrabands [i.e., escaped slaves] [at] the railroad lined up as far as could be seen from morning until night, coming in from where the fighting was going on about Culpepper Courthouse. It was a very hard sight to see the little children and women with bundles upon their heads and backs on their way for Alexandria. Close by our camp there was about 30 men, women, and children, a horrid noise with the children crying. Our boys gives them hardies [i.e., hardtack] to eat and clothing to wear. . . .
