During the American Civil War, the Battle of Antietam, which took place on September 17, 1862, involved Northern forces commanded by Major General George McClellan and Southern forces commanded by General Robert E. Lee. The battle was in many ways a draw; however, it can be considered a Union victory since it served as a check to the Southern invasion of the North that had begun before the battle took place.
