	Battle of Antietam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Antietam (known as the Battle of Sharpsburg in the South), fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, part of the Maryland Campaign, was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil.
		There were two significant engagements in the Maryland campaign prior to the major battle of Antietam: Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson's capture of Harpers Ferry and McClellan's assault through the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Battle of South Mountain.
		The winning of the Battle of Antietam also may have dissuaded the governments of France and Britain from recognizing the Confederacy; some suspected they were planning to do so in the aftermath of another Union defeat.

		The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest one-day battle in all of United States history.
		It was one of the most important battles of the Civil War because the Confederate defeat led General Robert E. Lee to abandon temporarily his plans for an invasion of the North and because it discouraged both Britain and France from coming to the aid of the Confederacy.
		Lee’s forces were intercepted on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek by a Union army of 75,000 men under the command of General George Brinton McClellan.
