The Battle of Antietam (or Sharpsburg) was sometimes called the Confederate High Watermark, because it was when they came nearest to achieving foreign recognition as a viable nation.
But they unexpectedly lost the battle, and along with it, they lost momentum generally.
The following July, the simultaneous struggle for Gettysburg and Vicksburg was also described as the Confederate High Watermark, though recognition was much less likely by then.
