, Compared with this style Of war. tn
battles IN South Africa arc mer
skirmishes-
Gettysburg was the greatest battle o
the civil war; AntietAm was the blood
lest.
The largest assembled by the Con
federates was at the Seven Days, b.
the Federals. at the Wilderness
Gettysburg may be considered tn
greatest battle for various reasons
The strategetic issues involved were tn
! most important; it was the turninl
point in the fortunes OF the Confed
crates. The contending armies wer
no, only larger. but were at their bes
in point Of discipline and experiences
while the loss of life exceeded that o
, any other battlefield Of the war.
Antietam was the bloodiess battle
More men were killed on that one da
than on any other one day Of the WAL
: There were greater battles, wit
greater loss of life. but they we're nc
fought out in one day As at Antietan
At Gettysburg. Chancellorsville an
? Spottsylvania the fighting covered thre
4 days or more At the Wilderness, Col
o HArbor, Shiloh, Stone River, Chicks
I mauga and Atlanta the losses wer
= divided between two days OF fighting
+ but, at Antietam, the bloody wor
r commenced at sunrise. and by o'cloc
a that afternoon Il was over.
