About	Antietam was the site of terrible, terrible carnage during the Civil War. By the end of the day, 23,000 soldiers from both sides were killed and wounded--the bloodiest single day of the Civil War. At this site, the Confederates fired on the advancing Union troops. In response the troops were withdrawn and the Union fired its cannons. Later, infantry from both sides "stood and shot each other, until the lines melted away like wax" (as reported by New York soldier, Isaac Hall). Fighting continued back and forth over the 20-acre cornfield, with the field changing hands 15 times, according to some accounts. Many Civil War scholars describe the way the soldiers would bravely face such battles using the word "valor." I find it unimaginably sad. Peace.

Not sure what you emoticons mean -- but it is a pretty picture of a place remembered for enormous suffering.

When will we ever learn, huh?

The litter of battle is clearly seen in this image taken just south of the Cornfield looking west. Historic photo taken by Alexander Gardner, an assistant to Matthew Brady, who took 70 photographs of the battlefield starting just two days after the battle.
