The Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862: A pivotal moment in the American Civil War unfolds as Union General George McClellan (PPRE2A-00067, EVCW2A-00030) and his troops face off against Confederate forces led by General Robert E. Lee. The historic clash, depicted in this vivid painting, took place near the Dunker Church in Maryland. McClellan, seen here on horseback (Civil War print), led the Union Army of the Potomac in a fierce battle that resulted in heavy casualties for both sides. The Confederates, prepared for battle (Confederate Army), held their ground, making Antietam one of the bloodiest single-day battles in the war's history.
