No. Antietam was a Union victory, although entirely accidental, and not followed-up with the capture of Lee's whole army, as Lincoln thought it should have been. The battle is classified as a "technical" victory for McClellan.
It was also a very decisive event, because it gave to Lincoln what he believed to be the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which made it impossible for Britain to recognize the South. Britain did however continue to build and sell warships to the Confederacy.
As for battles that were not Union victories, well there are a number of those. This should be addressed at another time.

In both cases, the Confederates could claim to have won, yet they retreated both times.
