| The Battle of Antietam , known as the Battle of Sharpsburg in the South, was fought on September 17, 1862. Historians say it was the first major battle in the Civil War to take place in a Northern state. With about 23,000 casualties, it was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history. | |
