In the battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg)in September 1862 over 22,000 Americans were killed, missing or wounded in the conflict know as the Civil War (alternatively the War of Northern Aggression). This is the largest single day number of casualties in any war in America's history. The result was that Britain decided not to recognize the Confederacy as an independent nation, Lee's first invasion of northern territory was repulsed, and Lincoln was able to add a moral element to the war by making the Emancipation proclamation without appearing desperate. Still, many view the outcome of this battle as a tactical draw. Here are some of my pictures (the weather was against me) from a recent visit.

Thanks, Pierre. It was fun. I had a second day there; but it poured rain, so I just went home.

ebrunner - I was there this past March for the first time, before anything turned green. Nice to see in summer colors closer to what those men encountered in the September battle.
