S10 Ep11 Antietam: The Bloodiest Day in American History

  • Summary

  • Welcome to Your History Your Story. In this episode, we’re honored to have as our guest Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James M. McPherson. Renowned for his acclaimed work, Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era, which earned him the Pulitzer Prize, McPherson has also authored many other significant historical books, including the New York Times bestseller, Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam, the Battle that Changed the Course of the Civil War.

    Today, McPherson will share his insights on the Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862—America’s bloodiest single day—including its military significance, its role in discouraging international support for the Confederacy and its connection to the Emancipation Proclamation. Additionally, McPherson will discuss the importance of preserving historic battlefields for the benefit of future generations.
