Union Gains an Edge on the Confederacy
Further Explanation
September 17, 1862, was the bloodiest day in US military history. Because confederation and Union forces clashed in a civil war near the Antietam River in Maryland. The battle of Antietam marked the culmination of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the Northern states. President Abraham Lincoln put Major General George B. McClellan in charge of Union forces assigned to defend Washington, D.C., against General Robert's invasion. During September 15 and 16. The two Confederate and United troops gathered across Antietam Creek.
This battle began in the early morning with fogging on September 17. The battle lasted eight hours and claimed up to 15,000 casualties.
Until the sun sets, the two troops were still stunned, until it was clear the end of the casualties was almost 23,000 with 100,000 soldiers involved, and the death toll reached 3,600. On September 18, the two sides gathered the wounded and buried the dead.
The strength of the United States of America (North Country) is more than that of the American Confederate State which only has 45,000 troops, while the North has 87,000 troops. However, the number of victims is more in the United States (North Country) which is 12,401 victims (2,108 killed, 9,540 injured, 753 captured or missing). The number of victims from the American Confederate State did not differ much from the enemy of 10,316 victims (1,546 killed, 7,752 injured, 1,018 captured or missing).
Although tactically unfinished because Robert Edward Lee of the American Confederate State withdrew his troops to Virginia, this war gave the North enough victory that Abraham Lincoln, declared the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.
