Why do some military historians regard the Battle of Antietam to be inconclusive?

In pure military assessments of the Battle of Antietam, military historians see the battle as being one of inconclusive results. When military experts sweep away all the political ramifications of that battle, they see an inept and numerically superior Union army, Yes, Lee had to retreat, in fact no matter what happened in Sharpsburg, Lee did not have enough men or supplies to stay in Maryland. Military minded people say that Lee's other objectives were met, thereby, in a sense, nullify the results at Antietam. Militarists point out that Lee's invasion prevented a combined effort by McClellan and General John Pope to advance on Richmond. Lee's positions before and after Antietam transferred all military operations to northern Virginia. Based on Southern newspapers, the Southern public was not discouraged by the setback in Maryland. Also, the Army of Northern Virginia remained a force that within seven weeks doubled its size.With all the above said, Antietam was a political victory for Lincoln and the Union. Lincoln was then resolved to release his first emancipation proclamation.

What allowed the southern congress men to have severl military basses located in the south?

Southern congressmen were able to secure several military bases in the South due to a combination of strategic geographic considerations, political influence, and the historical presence of military installations in the region. The South's location made it a key area for defense and training purposes, especially during the Cold War. Additionally, the political clout of Southern legislators enabled them to advocate effectively for military funding and infrastructure, ensuring that bases were established and maintained in their states. This was often bolstered by the region's economic reliance on military spending, which further solidified the presence of these bases.
