The Battle of Antietam

This film captures the "bloodiest day in American history"; the Battle of Antietam. This was an extra credit project for school I made with 3 friends. It is my longest movie yet.

@Blackops206 bloodiest day in AMERICAN history

[coolebertje]

how you get al these weapons? you made then from wood or something?

[LowUnderpassFilms]

They're all made out of wood

[nateguitarsoccer]

how many times can one of you die.

[LowUnderpassFilms]

how about you count them and then tell me

[TheCanadianbrothers]

it doesnt take 2 seconds to reload a musket and they hardly used muskets they used henry rifles and winchesters

[Civilwar555]

soldiers would lay on the field of battle sometimes as long as three days before receiving any help. Others whom could have been saved died from being stuck underneath the dead on top of them. The 30,000 which died is a total of included the wounded later dying from poor medical treatment, the missing later found dead.

Please remember that doctors wouldn't risk their lives many times than not to treat those stuck on the field of battle until after words. Clara was the exception.

[Civilwar555]

are you forgetting the wounded which laid on the battlefield and would later die of infection, poor medical treatment. How about the missing in action which where later found died in the from the battle. How about the thousands which died later on from doctors waiting to treat their wounded.

Clara Barton was the first to come up with fast medical treatment! Remember things back then where like today. She was the one whom started the whole idea of fast medical response in the civil war.

@Civilwar555 If you did research, then why do think there were 35,000 killed at Antietam? That is an absurd figure which no historian agrees with.

[Civilwar555]

@BryantFinlay Please learn your history and do some research before you make a statment like that for next time! This would help all us reenactors out whom travel across the US to teach our children and aduilts :)

[Civilwar555]

@BryantFinlay Lastly; How about the Irish who fought? How about confederate machineguns which were made and used in the battle of Pettersburg 1864 to 1865, or the union counter machinegun known as the Gatling gun! How about landmines which were first used in 1864 to 1865. What about the trench warfare which was created from 1864 to 1865. Pettersburg was the same setting as World War I only during the civil war. The world just copied many of the things that occurred in the almost yearlong battle.

[Civilwar555]

@BryantFinlay First off! The war from 1861 to 1862 was about keeping the union as a whole. I'm a civil war reneactor and did over 8 years of research! Heck even wrote several novels on this very battle and the outcome it had over the american civil war. You ask any southern reenactor or northern reenactor and they will tell you the same thing.

@BryantFinlay Sergation was allow by this Yankee Nation and it could been stop by this YANKEE NATION. By amednment of constition - that is what amendments are for. To change things.

@TheRebelpreacher Who was it that kept up segregation in the US? Oh yeah, that was the South. Emmett Till, Rosa Parks, the attacks on the marchers at the Edmund Pettus bridge. Come on man, you're going to have to better than that.
