A very poor one. The battle has been described as actually being three separate battles, as the northerners made unconnected, unsupported attacks in the north of the field, then the center, then the south. This allowed the Confederates to move troops to the threatened sectors to meet each attack. The north had the south outnumbered three to one on the field, and had they attacked simultaneously on all sectors of the field could undoubtedly have overwhelmed the Confederates and ended the war then and there. As it was, it was all the Confederates could do to hang on desperately through the three separate Union attacks. Union commander McClellan had seven corps in his army, and two of them took no part in the battle and did not fire a shot all day.
