The Battle of Antietam, fought near Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, remains the bloodiest single day in American military history, with roughly 22,000 killed, wounded, captured or missing across both armies. The fighting around the Dunker Church, the cornfield and the sunken road made the ground a grim landmark for the survivors who came back to photograph it. The battle's outcome gave President Abraham Lincoln the opening he wanted to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which he announced five days later, in September 1862, and it set the stage for the Union's broader war aims.
