Civil War

I think the Antietam war was significant because on September 17, 1862 it was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War took place. The Battle of Antietam is referred to as the "bloodiest" battle of the Civil War because more men were killed or wounded here, than during any other Civil War battle. This was an opportune time for Abraham Lincoln to write the Emancipation Proclamation. This is probably the most important outcome of this battle.
