Michigan at Antietam : the Wolverine State's sacrifice on America's bloodiest day

Summary: America's single bloodiest day was the the Battle of Antietam, and Michigan played a prominent role.

Mourn the extraordinary losses Michiganders suffered, including one regiment losing nearly half its strength at the epicenter of the battle. The Wolverine State's contributions to secure the Union and enable the Emancipation Proclamation are vast and worthy of a monumnet on the battlefield.
