GENERAL ROBERT
E. LEE'S first invasion of the North culminated with the Battle
of Antietam, in Maryland (or Sharpsburg, as the South called it).
The battle took place on Wednesday, September 17, 1862, just 18
days after the Confederate victory at Second Manassas, 40 miles
to the southeast in Virginia.
Not
only was this the first major Civil War engagement on Northern
soil, it was also the bloodiest single day battle in American
history.
To view
the magnitude of the losses, consider that Antietam resulted
in nine times as many Americans killed or wounded (23,000 soldiers)
as took place on June 6, 1944--D-day, the so-called "longest
day" of World War II. Also consider that more soldiers were
killed and wounded at the Battle of Antietam than the deaths
of all Americans in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican
War, and Spanish-American War combined.
The
loss of human life at Antietam shocked both sides doing battle
that day. And it nearly resulted in Lee's entire army, with
its back to the Potomac River, being cut off from retreat across
the Potomac (through Shepherdstown) and being captured by the
stronger Union forces.
The
battle also became a turning point, an engagement that changed
the entire course of the Civil War. Antietam not only halted
Lee's bold invasion of the North but thwarted his efforts to
force Lincoln to sue for peace. It also provided Lincoln with
the victory he needed to announce the abolition of slavery in
the South. And with that proclamation of Emancipation, Lincoln
was able to broaden the base of the war and may have prevented
England and France from lending support to a country that engaged
in human bondage. The battle sealed the fate of the Confederacy.
