SEE PHOTO-----COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, The World (NY) dated September 22, 1862, with fantastic Civil War history! The Battle of Antietam was one of the main turning points in the war and despite a Union victory, directly led President Abraham Lincoln to replace Union General George McClellan as commander of the Army of the Potomac shortly thereafter. Perfect for framing and display! The Battle of Antietam, or Battle of Sharpsburg particularly in the Southern United States, was a battle of the American Civil War fought in September of 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 and Antietam Creek. Part of the Maryland Campaign, it was the first field army–level engagement in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War to take place on Union soil. It remains the bloodiest battle in American history, with a combined tally of 22,717 dead, wounded, or missing. Although the Union army suffered heavier casualties than the Confederates, the battle was a major turning point in the Union's favor.Coincidentally, President Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in the midst of the Civil War, announcing on this day--September 22, 1862, that if the rebels did not end the fighting and rejoin the Union by January 1, 1863, all slaves in the rebellious states would be free.Very Good Condition.
