Tactical decisions in the war
Day 1-Oak grove: This minor battle was McClellans only tactical offensive action against Richmond.
Day 2:Beaver dam creek: the battle was a Union tactical victory, in which the Confederates suffered heavy casualties and achieved none of their specific objectives.
Day 3:Gaines' Mill:It was the only clear-cut Confederate tactical victory of the Peninsula Campaign.
Day 4:Garnett's and Golding's farm:Attacks from the South helped to convince McClellan that he was being subjected to attacks from all directions.
Day 5:Savage's Station:Stonewall Jackson eventually crossed the river, but it was too late to crush the Union Army, as Lee had hoped.
Day 6:Glendale and White Oak Swamp:The battle was tactically inconclusive, although Lee failed to achieve his objective of preventing the Federal escape and crippling McClellan's army, if not destroying it.
Day 7:Malvern Hill: The confedrates had an opportunity to dominate the union camps, so Cavalry commander Jeb Stuart reached the heights and began bombardment with a single cannon.
