At the US Civil War Battle of Antietam, is was the tactics not the strategies that were employed. Confederate General Robert E. Lee chose his best tactic based on the fact his army was vastly outnumbered. His tactic was to maintain a defensive posture causing Union General McClellan no choice but to use offensive if he wanted to send Lee and his army back to Virginia. So, classical defensive and offensive battle tactics were used.
