LEADER AND GENERAL
Abraham Lincoln and a selection of his officers pose for a
photo after the Battle of Antietam. The battle, which took
place on 17 September, was the bloodiest single-day battle
in US history, with a combined tally of dead, wounded,
and missing of over 22,500. The Union troops
won and soon afterward Lincoln delivered his
Emancipation Proclamation.
