Were there any that were just completely lopsided in terms of the size of the forces engaged? Not that I am aware of, at least none of the bigger ones.
What about Vicksburg? I know it was a siege for the most part, but Pemberton only had about 22,000 men and Joe Johnston's forces were separated from him and he only had about 34,000 I think. Meanwhile didn't Grant have over 100,000 men at his disposal at one point? Would that be considered lopsided?
