America's Bloodiest Day: Antietam | Animated History

Confederate soldiers captured wearing Union uniforms would be fair game to be executed on sight instead of being taken prisoner right?

Aww, not a word about Clara Barton. She took a bullet through her dress while giving water to wounded men and wrapping their wounds. She was just as heroic as the men!

I didn't realize they had telegraph during the war

I thank god that the north won

My friend linked this to me... I watched it a day too early. (Tomorrow is the 161st anniversary of the battle.)

“…facial hair pioneer General Ambrose Burnside.” 😂👍🏻

Correction, 12410 American's died defending America. 10317 traitors gave up their lives for an ultimately lost and pointless cause.

You end the video too early! The last attack was the attack that was never made! McClellan declined to commit HIS reserves against the depleted Confederate army, graciously allowing Lee to withdraw, mauled, but intact. McClellan accepted a draw, with mate in sight (seconded by Polk, however.) McClellan was rightfully removed. Credit to AP Hill. Have always wondered why Hill then failed Lee at Gettysburg....

I asked lots of friends and my parents and they both said they thought Gettysburg was the bloodiest, so sad that this horrible battle is so forgotten

(Sharpsburg)

ive been to dunker church

Almost hard to believe no one hardly even knows the name of this battle let alone it’s significance

Bro. Cotton didn’t make it out of the south during the war, the US Navy blockaded southern ports. The confederacy was never recognized by any other country and thus had no export markets.

No::

This is the most bloodiest battle in us history So really only Americans have F**k americas up we built different

Great interactive history of the bloodiest day in American History. A Teenager’s Guide to the Civil War: A History Book for Teens gives an overview history of the Civil War for Teens.

Kinfederate. Didn't know that there were black confederate regiments.

When you consider how the Civil War is still, by far, the bloodiest war the US has ever seen and the way blacks complain today as they are not enjoying the best economy and the most wealth any blacks have ever experienced in any country on Earth, it makes me sick.

wearing the uniform of the enemy and attacking is a war crime.

Honestly I think the war would of been lost if that note had not been found

Capitalism kill people all the time.

Wow, there's a lot of wheat in that cornfield.

Civil war part twos about to come out and this is the “Empire Strikes Back” kinda sequel.

God bless the south. This country is in turmoil even since the 1860s.

I just attempted to download you’re game and it’s not free

Pretty much any time mid western units entered the battle in the eastern front the south suffered heavily in battle

This is the proof that General Lee is a fraud, you can't beat McClellan ? You're weak lol

I've helped set up the Illumination 3 times. It is a very long 2 days of setting up and then you go out and light them all on Saturday night. So beautiful, so sad, so unfortunate.

God bless the Union!

Away down south in the land of tratiors🗣🔥

will this game be released on steam so that apple mac users can play Fire and manouver?

“The grey scarecrows in the cornfield”
Shows wheat

McClellan when he has the chance to cripple the confederacy and become a legend forever: 👁️👄👁️

Why is jschlatt in the thumbnail

Is that Jschlatt?(thumbnail)

mansfield was not killed by friendly fire

That corn field looks an awful lot like a wheat field haha

Ngl I thought the soldier on the thumbnail is young Sheriff Holmes from Age of Empires 3 Warchief, the Shadow Campaign?

An ancestor of mine was killed at Antietam, 14 year old in the Union on my grandfathers side, my grandmothers great great grandmother had a house outside of Sharpsburg and watched and helped wounded Confederate soldiers before and during the battle as well, she said the blood was up to the horses necks in Bloody Lane. Story has been passed down through my family ever since

McClellan was an outstanding general when his back was to the wall or in defence of the nation, alongside good in logistics, organization, generally keeping the army in top shape, etc. He was definitely the right choice for the early war eastern theatre where most generals were not used to fighting the confederacy and with misconceptions that they would surrender easily.

162 years today

Had this battle for a project this video would’ve helped me if I knew it existed

So OverSimplifed was right about McClellan?

My god, these ads

lotsa pushes with a Hooker

A truly rare event “Mclelan decides to attack”

Was just there yesterday

the rarest words: "McCellan decides to attack."
