Casualties on both sides in the US Civil War Battle of Antietam were heavy. One reason that Lee's army incurred heavy losses was Lee's failure to more successfully entrench his army with the understanding that he would be fighting a defensive battle at Antietam. Figures on battle casualties on each side vary, however, many historians had the South suffering slightly more of them then McClellan's attacking forces. Figures vary on this, however, many estimates place the South's casualties at 13, 725. In comparison, Union losses were approximately 12,470, including the 12,000 Union troops that surrendered at Harper's Ferry.
