Advanced American History
Our presentations on the general course of the Civil War continue today as we finish some of the key events of 1861-62. We will culminate with Antietam, a strategic Union victory that led to the Emancipation Proclamation and the failure of Britain to recognize the Confederacy. While not a resounding military victory for the north, Antietam still had a substantial cost. Today, September 17th is the 148th anniversary of this battle that yet today remains the bloodiest day in American military history.
We also finished class by taking Civil War Quiz #2. Be sure to make this up within 3 days if absent.
