Antietam, Maryland, Civil War Campaign
The Maryland Campaign, or the Antietam Campaign, (September 4–20,
1862) is widely considered one of the major turning points of the American Civil War. Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's first
invasion of the North was repulsed by Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan and the Army of the Potomac, who moved to intercept Lee
and his Army of Northern Virginia and eventually attacked it near Sharpsburg, Maryland. The resulting Battle of Antietam was
the bloodiest single-day battle in American history.

Antietam Maryland Campaign
Several motives led to Lee's decision to launch an invasion. First, he needed
to supply his army and knew the farms of the North had been untouched by war, unlike those in Virginia. Moving the war northward
would relieve pressure on Virginia. Second was the issue of Northern morale. Lee knew the Confederacy did not have to win
the war by defeating the North militarily; it merely needed to make the Northern populace and government unwilling to continue
the fight.

With the Congressional elections of 1862 approaching in November, Lee believed
that an invading army playing havoc inside the North could tip the balance of Congress to the Democratic Party, which might
force Abraham Lincoln to negotiate an end to the war. He told Confederate President Jefferson Davis in a letter of September
3 that the enemy was "much weakened and demoralized."

There were secondary reasons as well. The Confederate invasion might be
able to incite an uprising in Maryland, especially given that it was a slave-holding state and many of its citizens held a
sympathetic stance toward the South. (Maryland Civil War History.)
Some Confederate politicians, including Jefferson Davis, believed the prospect
of foreign recognition for the Confederacy would be made stronger by a military victory on Northern soil, but there is no
evidence that Lee thought the South should base its military plans on this possibility. Nevertheless, the news of the victory
at Second Bull Run and the start of Lee's invasion caused considerable diplomatic activity between the Confederate States
and France and England.
Following his victory in the Northern Virginia Campaign, Lee moved north
with 55,000 men through the Shenandoah Valley starting on September 4, 1862.
His objective was to resupply his army outside of the war-torn Virginia theater
and to damage Northern morale in anticipation of the November elections. He undertook the risky maneuver of splitting his
army so that he could continue north into Maryland while simultaneously capturing the Federal garrison and arsenal at Harpers
Ferry. McClellan accidentally found a copy of Lee's orders to his subordinate commanders and planned to isolate and defeat
the separated portions of Lee's army.

While Stonewall Jackson surrounded, bombarded, and captured Harpers Ferry
(September 12–15), McClellan's army of 84,000 men attempted to move quickly through the South Mountain passes that separated
him from Lee. The Battle of South Mountain on September 14 delayed McClellan's advance and allowed Lee sufficient time to
concentrate most of his army at Sharpsburg, Maryland.
The Battle of Antietam (or Sharpsburg) on September 17 was the bloodiest day
in American military history with over 22,000 casualties. While Lee, outnumbered two to one, moved his defensive forces to
parry each offensive blow, McClellan never deployed all of the reserves of his army to capitalize on localized successes and
destroy the Confederates.
On September 18, Lee ordered a withdrawal across the Potomac and on September
19 and September 20, fights with Lee's rear guard at Shepherdstown ended the campaign.
Although Antietam was a tactical draw, Lee's Maryland Campaign failed to achieve
its objectives. President Abraham Lincoln used this Union victory as the justification for announcing his Emancipation Proclamation,
which effectively ended any threat of European support for the Confederacy.
Siege of Harpers Ferry: September
12-15, 1862
Learning that the garrison at Harpers Ferry had not retreated after his
incursion into Maryland, Lee decided to surround the force and capture it. He divided his army into four columns, three of
which converged upon and invested Harpers Ferry.

On September 15, after Confederate artillery was placed on the heights overlooking
the town, Union commander Col. Miles surrendered the garrison of more than 12,000.
Miles was mortally wounded by a last salvo fired from a battery on Loudoun
Heights. Jackson took possession of Harpers Ferry, then led most of his soldiers to join with Lee at Sharpsburg. After
paroling the prisoners at Harpers Ferry, A.P. Hill’s division arrived in time to save Lee’s army from near-defeat
at Sharpsburg.

Battle of South Mountain, Crampton’s, Turner’s, and Fox’s Gaps: September 14, 1862
After invading Maryland in September 1862, Gen. Robert E. Lee divided his
army to march on and invest Harpers Ferry. The Army of the Potomac under Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan pursued the Confederates
to Frederick, Maryland, then advanced on South Mountain.
On September 14, pitched battles were fought for possession of the South
Mountain passes: Crampton’s, Turner’s, and Fox’s Gaps. By dusk the Confederate defenders were driven back,
suffering severe casualties, and McClellan was in position to destroy Lee’s army before it could reconcentrate.
McClellan’s limited activity on September 15 after his victory at
South Mountain, however, condemned the garrison at Harpers Ferry to capture and gave Lee time to unite his scattered divisions
at Sharpsburg. Union general Jesse Reno and Confederate general Samuel Garland, Jr., were killed at South Mountain.

On September 16, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan confronted Lee’s Army
of Northern Virginia at Sharpsburg, Maryland.
At dawn September 17, Hooker’s corps mounted a powerful assault on
Lee’s left flank that began the single bloodiest day in American military history. Attacks and counterattacks swept
across Miller’s cornfield and fighting swirled around the Dunker Church. Union assaults against the Sunken Road eventually
pierced the Confederate center, but the Federal advantage was not followed up.
(Left) Antietam Battlefield Map. After jostling for positions, the Union and Confederate armies made a series
of advances, assaults and counterassaults, with the objective of breaking and exploiting a line. Most of the annihilating
charges were checked, leaving many on both sides slain during the malaise. But once the Union army finally broke through,
the Confederates, after falling back, simply conducted an orderly retreat into Virginia. Lincoln, infuriated with McClellan
for not pressing Lee, was determined to find an aggressive commander who was willing
to take the fight to the Rebs. Mary Todd, the First Lady, also spoke negatively about McClellan in a letter, dated Nov. 2nd, sent
to her husband, but it was only after she had heard the President continually bemoan and then painstakingly maintain McClellan
as commanding general. On Nov, 7th, McClellan was fired by Lincoln as general-in-chief, and subsequently from the Army of
the Potomac.
Lincoln was famously quoted as saying, "If General McClellan
does not want to use the army, I would like to borrow it for a time." Map courtesy PBS.
Late in the day, Burnside’s corps finally got into action, crossing
the stone bridge (aka Burnside Bridge) over Antietam Creek and rolling up the Confederate right. At a crucial moment, A.P.
Hill’s division arrived from Harpers Ferry and counterattacked, driving back Burnside and saving the day. Although outnumbered
two-to-one, Lee committed his entire force, while McClellan sent in less than three-quarters of his army, enabling Lee to
fight the Federals to a standstill.

During the night, both armies consolidated their lines. In spite of crippling casualties, Lee continued
to skirmish with McClellan throughout the 18th, while removing his wounded south of the river. McClellan did not renew the
assaults. After dark, Lee ordered the battered Army of Northern Virginia to withdraw across the Potomac into the Shenandoah
Valley.

On September 19, a detachment of Porter's V Corps pushed across the river
at Boteler's Ford, attacked the Confederate rearguard commanded by Brig. Gen. William Pendleton, and captured four guns.
Early on the 20th, Porter pushed elements of two divisions across the Potomac
to establish a bridgehead. Hill's division counterattacked while many of the Federals were crossing and nearly annihilated
the 118th Pennsylvania (the "Corn Exchange" Regiment), inflicting 269 casualties. This rearguard action discouraged Federal
pursuit. On November 7, President Lincoln relieved McClellan of command because of his failure to follow up Lee's retreating
army. Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside rose to command the Union army.
Casualties
Estimates of numbers engaged in Civil War battles vary; statistics
on killed, wounded, captured, and missing are incomplete. The reports of casualties at the Battle of Antietam shown in the
official records are certainly inaccurate. Often these reports are qualified by "about," "not over," or "less than." In addition,
they do not show numbers of wounded who later died or the missing who later returned to duty or had been captured. The casualty
estimates shown below are drawn primarily from reports in the Official Records, submitted one to several months after
the battle. While Union reports show casualty statistics for September 17, 1862, Confederate reports show the total number
of killed and wounded for the Maryland Campaign, including the battles of South Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg (Antietam),
and Shepherdstown (Boteler's Ford). Confederate cavalry casualties are not shown. Stuart's cavalry brigades spent September
17th guarding the flanks of the Confederate Army, thus their casualties were relatively few.
Because casualty reports seldom agree, the following casualties are
derived from several sources and applied by battle, phases, and campaign.

Reading: Landscape Turned Red: The Battle of Antietam, by Stephen W. Sears. Description: The Civil War battle waged on September 17, 1862, at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of
the bloodiest in the nation's history: in this single day, the war claimed nearly 23,000 casualties. In Landscape Turned Red,
the renowned historian Stephen Sears draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid
drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union
and Confederate. Combining brilliant military analysis with narrative history of enormous power, Landscape Turned Red is the
definitive work on this climactic and bitter struggle. Continued below…
About
the Author: STEPHEN W. SEARS is the author
of many award-winning books on the Civil War, including Gettysburg
and Landscape Turned Red. The New York Times Book Review has called him "arguably the preeminent living historian of the war's
eastern theater." He is a former editor for American Heritage.
Editor's Pick: The Maryland Campaign of September
1862: Ezra A. Carman's Definitive Study of the Union and Confederate Armies at Antietam
(Hardcover). Description: Completed in the early 1900s,
The Maryland Campaign of September 1862 is still the essential source for anyone seeking understanding of the bloodiest day
in all of American history. As the U.S. War Department’s official expert on the Battle of Antietam, Ezra Carman corresponded
with and interviewed hundreds of other veterans from both sides of the conflict to produce a comprehensive history of the
campaign that dashed the Confederacy’s best hope for independence and ushered in the Emancipation Proclamation. Nearly
a century after its completion, Carman's manuscript has finally made its way into print, in an edition painstakingly edited,
annotated, and indexed by Joseph Pierro. The Maryland Campaign of September 1862 is a crucial document for anyone interested
in delving below the surface of the military campaign that forever altered the course of American history. Continued below.
Editorial Reviews:
Ted
Alexander, Chief Historian, Antietam
National Battlefield
"The
Ezra Carman manuscript is the definitive study of that bloody September day in 1862. By editing it Joseph Pierro has done
a tremendous service to the field of Civil War studies. Indeed, this work is one of the most important Civil War publications
to come out in decades."
James
M. McPherson, author of Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam
"Many
accounts of Civil War battles were written in the decades after the war by soldiers who had participated in them. None rivals
in accuracy and thoroughness Ezra Carmen's study of the battles of South Mountain and Antietam, in which he fought as colonel of the 13th New Jersey. Students of the 1862 Maryland
campaign have long relied on this manuscript as a vital source; Joseph Pierro's scrupulous editorial work has now made this
detailed narrative accessible to everyone. A splendid achievement."
Jeffry
D. Wert, author of The Sword Of Lincoln: The Army of the Potomac
"At
last, after a century, Ezra A. Carman's The Maryland Campaign
of September 1862 has received the attention it deserves. A Union veteran, Carman authored a remarkable primary study of the
critical operations that ended along Antietam Creek. Editor Joseph Pierro has given students of the Civil War and American
history a most welcome and long overdue book."
Edwin
C. Bearss, author of Fields of Honor: Pivotal Battles of the Civil War
"My
introduction to the Ezra A. Carman Papers at the Library of Congress and National Archives came in the spring of 1961. I was
astounded and amazed by their depth and scope. The correspondence, troop movement maps, etc, along with Carman's unpublished
manuscript on the Antietam Campaign constitutes then as now an invaluable legacy to the American people by Carman and the
veterans of Antietam. But for too long that resource has only been available to the general public as microfilm or by traveling
to Washington. Now thanks to the publishers and skilled,
knowledgeable, sympathetic, but light-handed editor Joseph Pierro, an annotated copy of Carman's masterpiece The Maryland Campaign of September 1862 will be available to the public."
William
C. Davis, author of Look Away! A History of the Confederate States of America
"Joseph
Pierro brings into the open one of the great and largely unknown masterworks of Civil War history. Ezra Carman's work on Antietam
is a fountainhead for study of that pivotal battle, written by a man who was in the fight and who spent most of his life studying
and marking the battlefield. No student can afford to ignore this stunningly thorough and brilliantly edited classic."

Viewing: The Civil War - A Film
by Ken Burns. Review: The Civil War -
A Film by Ken Burns is the most successful public-television miniseries in American history. The 11-hour Civil War
didn't just captivate a nation, reteaching to us our history in narrative terms; it actually also invented a new film language
taken from its creator. When people describe documentaries using the "Ken Burns approach," its style is understood: voice-over
narrators reading letters and documents dramatically and stating the writer's name at their conclusion, fresh live footage
of places juxtaposed with still images (photographs, paintings, maps, prints), anecdotal interviews, and romantic musical
scores taken from the era he depicts. Continued below...
The Civil War uses all of these devices to evoke atmosphere and resurrect an event that many knew
only from stale history books. While Burns is a historian, a researcher, and a documentarian, he's above all a gifted storyteller,
and it's his narrative powers that give this chronicle its beauty, overwhelming emotion, and devastating horror. Using the
words of old letters, eloquently read by a variety of celebrities, the stories of historians like Shelby Foote and rare, stained
photos, Burns allows us not only to relearn and finally understand our history, but also to feel and experience it. "Hailed
as a film masterpiece and landmark in historical storytelling." "[S]hould be a requirement for every
student."
