Milites mortui Confoederati ex legione Ludoviciana Starke, secundum Viam Vectigalem ad Hagerstown, ad septentriones templi Summersorum. Photographema ab Alexandro Gardner factum.
Impetus et impetus contra hostium impetum agrum maizii Milleranum transgrediebantur, et rixa circa templum sectae Summersorum appellatae appropinquavit. Oppugnationes Unionis contra viam consessam medium Confoederatum ad ultimum penetraverunt, sed Foederales occasionem non nacti sunt. Corpus Ambrosii Burnside generalis maioris Unionis particeps pugnae post meridiem fuerunt, pontemlapideum trans Rivum Antietamensem excepit, contraque dextram Confoederatam persecutum est.
Impetus a Corpore XII facti, a 7:30 ad 9:00 a.m.Templum Summersorum apud Antietam.
Gravissimo pugnae tempore, divisio A. P. Hill generalis maioris Confederati ex Harpers Ferry adveniens, impetum contra hostium incautorum impetum coepit, Burnside repellens proeliumque finiens. Lee, quamquam multitudine bis superatus, omnes suas copias commisit, cum McClellan minus quam tres partes sui exercitus praemisit, quod vicissim facultatem Lee dedit agri obstruendi ne milites Foederales progredi possent. Per noctem, ambo exercitus eorum acies stabiliebant. Lee, contra caducos debilitantis cum McClellan omnem per diem 18 Septembris levia proelia conserere pergebat, cum exercitum percussum meridiemFluminis Potomaci versus removeret.[2]
Contra minores numeros, impetus McClellaniani contractionem virium non confecit, sinens ut Lee copias transferret aciesque interiores moveret ut quamque provocationem adaequarent. McClellan, quamquam amplas copias reservatas ad minores successus amplificandos committere poterat, exercitum Leeanum non destruxit. McClellan illius incursionem in fines Terrae Mariae steterat, sed Lee ad Virginiam retrocedere potuit sine interclusionem a McClellan cauto factam. Quamquam proelium per rationes victoriae gerendae anceps fuit, exercitus Lee, iam primum repressus, ad Virginiam pedem rettulit antequam McClellan eum delere posset. Antietam ergo habetur victoria Unionis quia septentrionalem Lee incursionem continuerat, et erat occasioni ut PraesesAbrahamus LincolnManumissionis Edictum nuntiaret,[3] quod vicissim res publicas Britannicam et Francicam prohibuit ne eae Confoederatiam rite agnoscerent.

McClellan generalis, cum proelium contra maiores numeros ad rempublicam servandam faceret, vix 50 000 peditatuum et tormentariorum certamini commiserat. Tertia pars eius exercitus sclopeti crepitum non fecit. Nihilominus, eius milites identidem Exercitum Virginiae Septentrionalis ad ipsam marginem calamitatis egerunt—res gestae fortitudinis omnino neglectae ab imperatore qui paene nihil praeter suam cladem prohibitam anticipabat.[5][6]
Praeses Lincoln obstupescuit quod McClellan a 17 Septembris ad 26 Octobris, contra obsecrationes ab Administratione Bellica et praeside ipso iteratas, Lee trans Potomacum insequi non volebat, inopiam instrumentorum timoremque copiarum nimis productarum citans. Henricus W. Halleck generalis principalis in relatu scripsit: "Diuturna inertia tam magni exercitus se hosti victo opponentis, et per secundissimum anni tempus progressuum rapidorum et expeditionis alacris, res magni incommodi paenitentiaeque fuit."[7][8] Lincoln imperium Exercitus Potomaci a McClellan die 7 Novembris abstulit, militarem illius cursum reapse finiens.
Nulla alia expeditio et proelium in bello tot consecutiones magni momenti quot res Antietamensis habebat. Mense Iulio 1863, binae Unionis victoriae apud Gettysburgum et Vicksburgum alium ictum dederunt, qui renovato Confoederatorum impetui in oriente obstetit, et tertiam Confoederatiae partem occidentalem a partibus reliquis praecidit. Mense Septembri 1864, Atlanta a Sherman capta animos Septentrionales iterum deficientes invertit et progressum ultimum ad victoriam Unionis paravit. Erant etiam momenta alia, sed numquam fierint si ternae expeditiones Confoederatae in Mississippia, Kentukia, et praecipuissime Terra Mariae autumno 1862 non superatae erant.[9][10]

↑Anglice: "In making his battle against great odds to save the Republic, General McClellan had committed barely 50,000 infantry and artillerymen to the contest. A third of his army did not fire a shot. Even at that, his men repeatedly drove the Army of Northern Virginia to the brink of disaster, feats of valor entirely lost on a commander thinking of little beyond staving off his own defeat."
↑Anglice: "The long inactivity of so large an army in the face of a defeated foe, and during the most favorable season for rapid movements and a vigorous campaign, was a matter of great disappointment and regret."
↑Anglice: "No other campaign and battle in the war had such momentous, multiple consequences as Antietam. In July 1863 the dual Union triumphs at Gettysburg and Vicksburg struck another blow that blunted a renewed Confederate offensive in the East and cut off the western third of the Confederacy from the rest. In September 1864 Sherman's capture of Atlanta reversed another decline in Northern morale and set the stage for the final drive to Union victory. These also were pivotal moments. But they would never have happened if the triple Confederate offensives in Mississippi, Kentucky, and most of all Maryland had not been defeated in the fall of 1862."
