What Happened In The Battle Of Antietam During The American Civil War?
The Battle of Antietam was marked by the bloodiest day of the entire course of the American Civil War. It was fought in the year 1862 on the 17th of September, which was initiated by the Confederate army in order to win the moral and financial support of Great Britain during the Civil War. The leader of the Confederate army led his soldiers to fight against the Union in close geographical proximity with Antietam Creek, which was located outside Sharpsburg, which was a small town in the state of Maryland. It was the most disastrous day of the American Civil War resulting in the deaths of thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers and many more were wounded too.
