| Video Discription | The Battle of Antietam or Battle of Sharpsburg particularly in the Southern United States, was a battle of the American Civil War fought on September 17, 1862, between Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and Union Gen. George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It remains the single bloodiest day in American history, with a combined tally of 22,717 dead, wounded, or missing. By midday, the action had shifted to the center of the Confederate line. This sector of Longstreet's line was theoretically the weakest. But Confederate troops were in a strong defensive position, atop a gradual ridge, in a sunken road worn down by years of wagon traffic, which formed a natural trench. Leading off the fourth attack of the day against the sunken road was the Irish Brigade of Brig. Gen. Thomas F. Meagher. The mostly Irish regiments lost 540 men to heavy volleys before they were ordered to withdraw. The carnage from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the sunken road gave it the name Bloody Lane, leaving about 5,600 casualties (Union 3,000, Confederate 2,600) along the 800-yard road. “Paintings provided by - https://www.maritato.com/civil-war-art.html “Charge of the Irish Brigade” “General Thomas Francis Meager” Need some History Swag?
