Known as the single bloodiest day in American History, the battle of Antietam marked the culmination of Gen. Robert E Lee's first invasion of the North, crossing the Potomac river in early September 1862.During September 15-16th both armies gathered on opposite sides of Antietam creek. Fighting began on a foggy dawn on the 17th and continued relentlessly all day with both sides suffering heavy losses. At sundown both Confederate and the Union armies of Gen.George McClellan still held their ground despite casualties of over 22,000 men.
