(4.05) | 1 | One of the bloodiest days in American military history, the Battle of Antietam turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the North and delivered the first major defeat to Robert E.

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. In apparent double battle line, the Federals were moving toward us at charge bayonets, common time, and the sunbeams falling on their well-polished guns and bayonets gave a glamour and a show at once fearful and entrancing.
Lt. E. A. Stickey
