Step-by-step explanation:

Lincoln had no option but to withdraw to Charleston, South Carolina. The militiamen melted away. The Whig allies lost about 1,094 killed, including about 650 French troops. In addition, Prevost returned to their commands some 116 wounded allies, most of them having received mortal wounds.
