context: McClellan announced the Union victory. Strategically, this was the case - having lost 30% of its composition, the North Virginia army could no longer continue the Maryland campaign. However, tactically, the battle ended in a draw. The 35,000th army of southerners managed to repulse the attack of the 75,000th army of the Union and inflict serious damage on it. The Potomac Army lost 12,199 people, of whom 2010 were killed and 1,043 were captured (According to McClellan's report: 2010 killed, 9,416 wounded and 1,043 captured, total 12,469 [68]). The losses of the Confederate army were slightly larger: 12,312 people, of whom 1,587 were killed and 2,000 were captured [69]. The figures of losses in the literature are very different, for example, MacPherson believes that from 1546 to 2700 people were killed in Lee’s army [70]. McClellan estimated the total loss of the enemy at Entity and in the Southern Mountains at 25,542 people [68].
