About This Item

Our Maryland Coin

The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest one-day battle in all of United States history. It was one of the most important battles of the Civil War because the Confederate defeat led General Robert E. Lee to abandon temporarily his plans for an invasion of the North and because it discouraged both Britain and France from coming to the aid of the Confederacy. The Union victory also led President Abraham Lincoln to issue the first, or preliminary, Emancipation Proclamation, in which he declared his intention to free all slaves in the rebel states.

This cemetery had a lot of Civil War tomb stones, it was sadly neglected, but you could see that someone still cared. A few of the stones had be replaced in recent years and bright flags were placed by them. Thanks for a wonderful reminder that our war heros are not totally forgotten.
