{ Civil War 1862

The War So Far The war had not been going well for the Union armies around Washington, D.C. The Union had lost every major battle in which it had fought in 1861 and 1862.

Antietam (or Sharpsburg) BATTLES September 1862 BATTLES

Antietam (or Sharpsburg) Casualties 23,100 / one day State Maryland Aggressor: Union Commanders: Gen. George B. McClellan [US] Gen. Robert E. Lee [CS]

After pursuing Confederate General Robert E. Lee into Maryland, Union Army Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan launched attacks against Lee's army, in defensive positions behind Antietam Creek. At dawn on September 17, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker's corps mounted a powerful assault on Lee's left flank. Attacks and counterattacks swept across Miller's Cornfield and fighting swirled around the Dunker Church. Union assaults against the Sunken Road eventually pierced the Confederate center, but the Federal advantage was not followed up. In the afternoon, Union Maj. Gen.

Commander Ambrose Burnside's corps entered the action, capturing a stone bridge over Antietam Creek and advancing against the Confederate right. At a crucial moment, Confederate Maj. Gen. A. P. Hill's division arrived from Harpers Ferry and launched a surprise counterattack, driving back Burnside and ending the battle. Although outnumbered two-to-one, Lee committed his entire force, while McClellan sent in less than three-quarters of his army, enabling Lee to fight the Federals to a standstill. During the night, both armies consolidated their lines. In spite of crippling casualties, Lee continued to skirmish with McClellan throughout September 18, while removing his battered army south of the Potomac River. [5] [5]

September 17, 1862 was the bloodiest day of the Civil War taking place at Antietam. Federal losses totaled 12,410 and the Confederates lost 10,700 men. Although neither side won a decisive victory, General Robert E. Lee's failure to carry the war into the north was significant to the outcome of the war. The win at Antietam gave President Lincoln the opportunity to issue the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, which on January 1, 1863, declared free all slaves in States still in rebellion against the United States.EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

General George McLellan McClellan and Lee battled to a standstill along Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Maryland. Lee retreated back to Virginia. In early October, Lincoln visited McClellan at his headquarters at Antietam to urge him personally to attack.

McClellan ignored Lincoln’s urging to pursue him. For six weeks, Lincoln and McClellan exchanged angry messages, but McClellan stubbornly refused to march after Lee. In letters to his wife he was full of criticisms regarding his commander-in-chief. Here are some quotes from his letters: “The President is an idiot…I went to the White House shortly after tea where I found the original gorilla…the President is nothing more than a well meaning baboon…There never was a truer epithet applied to a certain individual than that of the ‘Gorilla.’ “ McClellan had a habit of overestimating the Confederate forces he faced and underestimating his ability to move expeditiously against them.

  In November 1862,a tortured relationship ends when President Abraham Lincoln removes General George B. McClellan from command of the Army of the Potomac.   Named Burnside as the new general.   McClellan ran against Lincoln for 2 nd presidential term in 1864.

DRAFT (also called Conscription) CREATED In 1862 the South instituted a draft requiring three years of service for those selected between the ages of 18 and 35 In 1863, the North also passed the draft. Congress created The Enrollment Act, requiring all men between 20 and 45 years register for military service. Draft (n.) : a system in which people are ordered to join the armed services in time of war

 Who may have written this?

 The draftee could find a substitute to go for him.  Or he could simply pay $300 and get out of going to war. Often called “The rich person’s war.” Why?
