Battle of Antietam SummaryLOCATION: Washington County, Maryland

DATE(S): September 17, 1862

COMMANDERS: Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan [United States] versus Gen. Robert E. Lee[Confederate States]

ESTIMATED CASUALTIES (DIED, INJURED, OR CAPTURED: 22,700 total

SUMMARY: In September 1862, Confederate general Robert E. Lee left the South and moved his army into Maryland. No one could be sure exactly what he planned to do, but in an incredible stroke of luck, a copy of Lee’s plans (which had been wrapped around three cigars) was discovered by Union soldiers and given to Union general George B. McClellan. Knowing Lee’s plan, on September 17, 1862, McClellan’s army attacked Lee’s army at Antietam Creek in Maryland.

The Battle of Antietam (also called the Battle of Sharpsburg) was the bloodiest single day in American history. Lee lost 10,300 men to death, injury, or capture while McClellan lost 12,400. However, having limited reinforcements and supplies, Lee was forced to retreat, and the North declared the battle a Union victory. Even though the Union won, it did not continue to chase and fight Lee’s army. Since Lee and his army got away, the war did not end here; more battles were to come.
