Malvern Hill was the last of the Seven Days' battles.

The Seven Days Battles were a series of seven battles over seven days from June 25 to July 1, 1862, near Richmond, Virginia, during the American Civil War. On June 26, 1862, less than a month after taking command of the newly named Army of Northern Virginia, General Robert E. Lee sent troops into the offensive. Over the next week, the Confederate offensive pushed back their blue-clad troops from their strongholds outside Richmond, unraveling General George B. McClellan's plan to capture the Confederate capital. Bloody fighting at places like Beaver Dam Creek, Gaines' Mill, Savage's Station, and on June 30, Glendale changed the tempo and duration of the fighting in Virginia.

At the conclusion of the Seven Days Battles, on the morning of July 1, 1862, Lee's army again threatened the retreating Potomac Army. However, the Yankees held a strong defensive position on a gently sloping terrain just two miles north of the river, known as the Malvern Hills, inviting Lee to attack. The Confederates launched a series of uncoordinated attacks against the well-placed Union artillery. As darkness fell, Lee's men failed to dislodge the Yankees, who had retreated that night. Lee did not pursue; the Seven Days Battle has ended. So, this deserves to be one of the facts about the Battle of Malvern Hill.
