Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland, USA, is a historic site that commemorates the Battle of Antietam, one of the bloodiest single-day battles in American history. Fought on September 17, 1862, during the Civil War, the battle marked a significant turning point, leading to President Abraham Lincoln's issuance of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The battlefield is preserved as a national park and features a visitor center with exhibits, films, and educational programs about the battle and its broader historical context. Visitors can explore various monuments, historic buildings, and the iconic Burnside Bridge, gaining insight into the strategies and sacrifices of both Union and Confederate forces.
