i need to do a 3-5 min speech of the battle of antietam
don't revise it please, just add
i just wrote it but it turns out that it was only 53 min long
way to short
so heres what i have so far, add to it puuulease!
antietam took place on antietam creek in a town called sharpsberg. General McClellan led the north and general Lee led the south. It was supposed to be a surprise attack on the north but to general LEE'S surprise, one of McClellan's soldiers found the battle plan that lee had made. So McClellan knew everything that Lee would do. you would think that If McClellan had evey move that Lees men would make, right in frontt of him, then he should have completly dominated Lee and his confederate soldiers. but since McClellan was such a horrible general, he just hardly led his men to victory. so it was a union victory, but just barely. Antietam was the bloodiest one day battle ever to take place in american history. General Lee had 40,000 men. He went up against McClellan who had 90,000 men. Lee ended up losing 1/3 of his fighting force. This battle was very important because if the north lost this battle then the south would have most likley won the entire war.
heeeeeeelllllllpppp!!
