Read the following passage and answer the question:

"When soldiers first enlisted to fight in the war, many believed it would be a quick war and felt that serving for their side would bring them honor. After the battle of Bull Run, soldiers began to see a clearer picture of the reality of war. After The Battle of Antietam, the war became a war of attrition and the question of ‘who will give up first?’ hung in the air. The Civil War was also a conflict that pitted brothers, fathers, and families against each other depending on their geographic location."

What was the main question soldiers asked after the Battle of Antietam?

The main question that soldiers asked after the Battle of Antietam is which side in the civil war ( Union and Confedarcy ) "will give up first" after all this fighting and tradgey.
