The Battle of Antietam was a battle during the Civil War. It was about 6 hours long with 23,000 casualties. About 7,000 of those died and the rest were wounded or missing.
The battle of Antietam was said to be the single-most bloodiest day of the war. Thousands of lives were lost at this battle, perhaps the most of any of the battles. This battle was a Union (North) defeat.
Antietam, or Sharpesburg, was fought on September 17th,1862. It was a battle that stopped Lee's first invasion of the north in Maryland. Part of Lee's army was detached on other duty, and a careless officer had lost a copy of his plans. This copy was found by the federals, and showed them the whereabouts of Lee's divided forces. The union commander, General George McClellan, moved to take advantage of his good fortune. The northern forces, although twice the numbers of the confederates, failed in a number of assaults to dislodge them from their positions. When in the evening, it looked like Lee's army was about to break, General A.P Hill arrived from Harper's Ferry with 3,000 men to break up the federal assault. Instead of retreating,Lee boldly held his lines, but the union troops did not renew the battle. Both armies had been mangled, with a total of 5,000 killed,and 18,000 wounded. It was the bloodiest single day of the war. It was considered a union victory, for it stopped Lee's invasion, but also called a tactical draw, because the badly outnumbered rebels handled the union forces thrown at them roughly, repelling at least twelve assaults. The next day Lee withdrew back into Virginia. Info from "The Civil War",by Bruce Catton.
