David Dufek: The Battle of Antietam
March, 2011
By David Dufek
As a Civil War enthusiast, one of the skirmishes I find particularly fascinating is the battle of Antietam, the bloodiest one-day battle in United States history. The firefight, also known as the battle of Sharpsburg, was also the first major skirmish on Northern soil during the war. On September 17, 1862, General Lee’s Confederate army had advanced into Maryland and taken up a defensive post behind Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg. Union Army Major General George B. McClellan attacked Lee’s army’s left flank, resulting in a vicious and bloody fight involving Lee’s entire force of about 18,000 men and nearly three quarters of McClellan’s forces.
Even at 75 percent strength, McClellan had Lee’s army severely outnumbered. At 5:30 a.m., Joseph Hooker and the Union I Corps consisting of approximately 8,600 men attacked to the left flank, while various Union troops deployed in other positions along the Confederate lines. Artillery fire from both sides led to heavy casualties early in the day, and as the battle progressed, more Union army troops arrived to reinforce McClellan’s plan of attack. By 7 a.m., Confederate reinforcements had arrived, as well. Throughout the morning, the two sides engaged in battle over the same small patch of land, advancing and retreating, but ultimately making no progress. By noon, casualties on both sides had reached nearly 13,000 men. A battle on an 800-yard sunken road led to 3,000 Union casualties and 2,600 Confederate casualties in 3.5 hours, and the road was named Bloody Lane. By 5:30 p.m., just 12 hours after it had started, the Battle of Antietam ended. The Union army sustained 12,401 casualties with more than 2,100 dead, while the Confederate army sustained 10, 318 casualties with nearly 1,550 dead, including generals from both sides.
The next night, Lee’s army retreated to Virginia. While neither side made progress and both sustained many casualties, historians believe the battle of Antietam to be the turning point of the Civil War. This battle brought about an end to Lee’s first invasion of the North and led to the Emancipation Proclamation, which Lincoln made just five days after the battle.
