Results Inconclusive?

I find it interesting that the Infobox says the result of this battle was inconclusive. The Union lost 3 times as many men, did not achieve their objective and were pushed back to their landing place. The Confederates managed to pass the area virtually unscathed (which was their goal in this battle). With those facts, I should think this would be considered a tactical and strategic win for the Confederates. Thoughts? TadgStirkland401 (talk) 16:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
