American History…
What was the
deadliest battle in American history
Incorrect: The storming of Normandy (D-Day) Correct: The
Battle of Antietam
While there were at least 4,414
confirmed Allied deaths on D-Day, that doesn't
compare to the number of lives lost on Sept. 17, 1862, during the Battle of Antietam. Right outside of
Sharpsburg, Maryland, the brutal Civil War battle resulted in nearly 23,000
American casualties.
