Best Answer

Students of the US Civil War cannot have a complete view of it without noticing the efforts of the federal Xll Corps in the early part of the war. As the battle of Antietam was unfolding, the Corps would bring into the battle a string of misfortunes. It had been led by a number of commanders one of which, was Major General Joseph Mansfield who lost his life at Antietam.Prior to this major civil war battle, the Corps was always in the thick of the action. When it was commanded by General Banks, it had been defeated by Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley in the Spring of 1862. No disgrace as most of the Union commanders facing Stonewall Jackson met similar fates. The Corps remained intact and again had been defeated at Cedar Mountain in early August of 1862 and shared the fate of General John Pope's in the Battle of the Second Bull Run.

The Xll Corps would, however, despite heavy losses, capture the Dunker Church at the Battle of Antietam. Without the courage of the men in this Corps, General McClellan would have had a less successful outcome there.

What does XLL represent in Roman numerals?

First, XL represents 40 since L is 50 and X is 10. A larger number following a smaller one causes you to subtract the numbers. L is another 50, so XLL is 90. XLL is not used since XC is shorter and also represents 90.
