What might have happened if a different decision had been made in the Battle of Antietam?
Antietam did not swing on any crucial decisions. It happened because McClellan had discovered by chance that Lee's divisions were widely separated, and believed he could destroy them piecemeal. Lee then had to concentrate his forces, and fight before he was ready. If you're asking what would have happened if Lee had won, the answer is that Britain would have granted official recognition to the Confederacy and sent military aid. History might then have been very different.
