Maryland Campaign
The Maryland Campaign, or the Antietam Campaign, was a series of battles fought in September, 1862—Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North—during the American Civil War. Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, commanding the Army of the Potomac, moved to intercept Lee and eventually attacked him near Sharpsburg, Maryland. The resulting Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest single day in American history, was tactically inconclusive, but represented a strategic victory for the United States.
