In September of 1862, Antietam Creek was the site of a major confrontation between the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Robert E. Lee and the forces of the Union's Army of the Potomac under generals reporting to George B. McClellan.
The creek was near the city of Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was one of the bloodiest battles in US history. The end result was a retreat of the Confederate forces as the Union army won the day. Lee was able to recross his army back over the Potomac River into Virginia. McClellan was criticized for his lack of aggressive pursuit.
