McClellan took over the reins again after the debacle at Manassas, absorbing the three Corps of the Army of Virginia into the AotP. Lee headed north into Maryland, but a disturbing number of his men refused to follow. The result was the bloodiest single day in American history in the fields north and east of Sharpsburg. Estimates for Lee's army at Sharpsburg vary wildly, but he couldn't have had much more than 40,000 men and was very nearly driven into the Potomac. But he managed to extricate his troops a few days later and retreat to fight again another day.
