After the Confederate victories, Jefferson Finis Davis's goal was to bring the war into the Northern states. So, he ordered general Robert Lee to initiate an offensive attack. The attack did NOT have good results - the Battle of Sharpsburg left over 20,000 men dead or wounded which made Lee withdraw his troops and allowed the Union force to claim victory.
