Episode 7--Antietam Plan
Channel: War of the Rebellion
Date: 2021-10-25

In 1890, the thinking about historic preservation in the United States shifted and the government, under pressure from veteran groups, determined to preserve some key battlefields of the War of the Rebellion. The second battlefield park created was at Sharpsburg, commemorating the Battle of Antietam. However, only a small portion of the battlefield was preserved and the preservation-on-the-cheap approach became known as the Antietam Plan.
