Battle of Antietam, Maryland
From Warriors of the Rebellion
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg in the South, took place on September 17, 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland and Antietam creek in Virginia. It was the first major campaign General Robert Lee undertook to cross into Union territory. It is supposed that this was a Union victory because General McClellan's Army of the Potomac halted Lee's army and preventing him from achieving his campaign objectives. Today Antietam still stands as the bloodiest single day of American history in which 22,000[1] people were listed as killed, wounded, or missing.
