The main body of the Union Army of the Potomac began a general withdrawal toward the James River. Confederate Brig. Gen. John B.

Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's divisions were stalled north of the Chickahominy River. Union forces continued to withdraw across White Oak Swamp, abandoning supplies and more than 2,500 wounded soldiers in a field hospital.
