Antietam Battlefield

In The Battle of Antietam the South deciedes to attack the North for a change. This was a terrible idea. The plan was to win the battle easily and convince Maryland to join the Confederacy and also to show Britian they have a chance to win, so that they can become allies. this goes horribly wrong. At first McClellans troops where doing very good. Then when Burnside (a Confederate general) sent his army up to help lee, then union started to lose. Then A.P. Hill and his troops joined McClellan forcing the confederacy to surender.
