Question

Suffered more than 12,000 casualties. The Confederates endured more

than 13,000 casualties. Union officer A. H. Nickerson later recalled, “It
seemed that everybody near me was killed.” The Battle of Antietam, also
known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, was the bloodiest single-day battle of
the Civil War--and of U.S. history. More soldiers were killed and wounded
at the Battle of Antietam than the deaths of all Americans in the American
Revolution, War of 1812, and Mexican-American War combined.
