Подробнее о видео

The Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, was the bloodiest single day in American history, with over 22,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing. Union forces, led by General George McClellan, clashed with Confederate troops under General Robert E. Lee. Despite a tactical stalemate, the Union halted Lee’s invasion of the North, providing a strategic advantage. The battle's outcome allowed President Abraham Lincoln to issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, shifting the war’s focus to ending slavery. Antietam’s heavy casualties and military significance marked a pivotal moment in the Civil War, influencing both domestic and international perceptions.
