Historical recap: The Battle of Malvern Hill took place in Virginia on July 1, 1862. Estimates suggest 54,000 Union and 55,000 Confederate soldiers fought at Malvern Hill with 2,100 Union and 5,650 Confederate casualties. This was a complete tactical failure for the Confederacy; Robert E. Lee's disjointed plans achieved absolutely nothing. Nevertheless, McClellan completed his retreat, finally putting an end to the Peninsula Campaign.
