Explanation:

The battle of Antietam (also known in the southern historiography as the battle of Sharpsburg) was the first major armed confrontation of the American civil war that took place in northern territory. The battle took place on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, in the county of Washington, Maryland, United States, and in the vicinity of the Antietam stream. The battle was part of the Maryland Campaign and is the bloodiest in the history of the United States that was fought in a single day, with almost 23,000 casualties.
