dbo:abstract The Battle of Crampton's Gap, or Battle of Burkittsville, was a battle fought between forces under Confederate Brig. Gen. Howell Cobb and Union Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin as part of the Battle of South Mountain on September 14, 1862, at Crampton's Gap in Western Maryland, during the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War. Franklin's VI Corps attacked a small, hastily assembled Confederate force at Crampton's Gap in South Mountain that sought to protect the rear of Confederate Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, who was across Pleasant Valley on Maryland Heights taking part in the siege of Harpers Ferry. Despite inferior numbers, the Confederate force held out throughout the day, taking heavy casualties. By the evening the VI Corps broke the Confederate line and proceeded through the gap into Pleasant Valley. Franklin, however, failed to follow up on his success and did not attack McLaws on Maryland Heights. Tactically the battle resulted in a Union victory because they broke the Confederate line and drove through the gap. Strategically, the Confederates were successful in stalling the Union advance and were able to protect McLaws' rear. (en) De Slag bij Crampton's Gap vond plaats op 14 september 1862 tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog en maakt deel uit van de Slag bij South Mountain. Het Noordelijke VI Corps onder leiding van viel een kleine en haastig bij elkaar gebrachte Zuidelijke eenheid bij Crampton’s Gap aan die de achterhoede beschermde van generaal-majoor eenheden. McLaws nam deel aan de Slag bij Harpers Ferry. Ondanks de sterke Noordelijke overmacht hielden de Zuidelijken de boot af. Ze leden zware verliezen. Tegen de avond slaagden de Noordelijken er evenwel in om de Zuidelijke stellingen te doorbreken en naar Pleasant Valley door te stoten. Franklin buitte deze overwinning niet uit en liet McLaws met rust. Dit was een tactisch Noordelijke overwinning omdat de Zuidelijken verdreven werden uit de pas. Het was echter een strategische overwinning voor de Zuidelijken omdat de achterhoede van McLaws niet aangevallen werd. (nl) Сражение за ущелье Крэмптона (англ. Battle of Crampton's Gap), называемое на юге иногда сражением при Беркиттсвилле (англ. Battle of Burkittsville), произошло одновременно со сражением у Южной горы 14 сентября 1862, и было частью Мерилендской кампании американской гражданской войны. Иногда это сражение считается фазой сражения у Южной горы. Дивизии генерала Лафайета Маклоуза было приказано блокировать с севера город Харперс-Ферри и одновременно охранять перевалы хребта Южных гор, но федеральный VI корпус генерал-майора Франклина неожиданно подошёл к хребту и стремительной атакой дивизии Генри Слокама захватил ущелье Крэмптона. Это поставило в критическое положение дивизию Маклоуза, а также дивизии Дэниеля Хилла и Джеймса Лонгстрита около Бунсборо. Генерал Ли принял решение свернуть мэрилендскую кампанию и отступить за Потомак в Вирджинию. Вечером 14 сентября Маклоуз получил приказ отступить, но уже утром 15 сентября генерал Джексон взял Харперс-Ферри, и Ли поменял планы, решив дать бой федеральной армии у города Шарпсберг. (ru)
