Antietam (Sharpsburg)
1. What if... that Confederate officer hadn't accidentally dropped a set of Lee's orders in the field, revealing his plans to McClellan?
Lee would have defeated the Army of the Potomac, Lincoln could not have issued the Proclamation, Britain and France would have granted recognition to the Confederacy, and both countries would have sent military aid, which would certainly have meant Southern independence.
2. What if... there hadn't been a Confederate spy in McClellan's camp, able to alert Lee in time for him to concentrate his forces?
McClellan would have been able to defeat Lee's widely scattered divisions, one by one, and destroy the Army of Northern Virginia outright, bringing the war to a swift end.
