This battle was technically a British victory, but losses (about 1/3 the attacking forces killed or wounded, including a significant fraction of the entire British officer corps in all of North America) were so heavy that the attack was not followed up.
Slaget var teknisk set en britisk sejr, men tabene, omkring halvdelen af angriberne blev dræbt eller såret, herunder en betydelig del af det britiske officerskorps, var så alvorlige, at der ikke blev fulgt op på angrebet.
