Referring to the Battle of Antietam, one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War fought in Maryland in 1862.
From the Antietam Creek in Maryland, where the battle took place. The Native American name 'Antietam' comes from the Shawnee language. Used as a historical reference point.
Antietam is the bloodiest single day in American military history—over 23,000 casualties in just one day—yet it's often overshadowed by more famous Civil War battles, which shows how even historical tragedies can be forgotten.
