The fight for these locations was a part of the Union army's attempt to crush the left flank of the Army of Northern Virginia. When the fighting for the northern half of the field began to die down in the early afternoon hours of September 17th, there were already over 17,000 casualties from these assaults alone.

Significance of battle: Over 23,000 men fell as casualties in the 1-day Battle of Antietam, making it the bloodiest day in American history. The Union victory at Antietam resulted in President Abraham Lincoln issuing his Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862.
