This episode was originally meant to be our second. However, we realized we were going to get out of order so we moved things around just a bit. The Battle at Antietam remains the bloodiest day in American history with 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing. Make sure to like, follow, share, review, and comment on our show. It really helps us reach more people, also it is super exciting for Tony to watch the numbers. Thank you!!
