The name Antietam will forever be connected with the bloodiest day in U.S. history. We're kicking off a new series in collaboration with Chris from @VloggingThroughHistory on the Battle of Antietam. But before we get to the battlefield, we're taking a few episodes to show the path that led the Union and Confederates to the small Maryland town of Sharpsburg. First, we look at the spot where a lost order from Robert E. Lee was located and put these two armies on a collision course to Antietam Creek. And be sure to subscribe to Vlogging Through History to get a more wholistic view of this battle as we go along.
