    The Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862 had significant impacts on the American Civil War and the nation. While neither side achieved a decisive victory at Antietam, it halted the Confederate advance into Union territory.

While it did not immediately free any slaves, the proclamation transformed the war to a fight against slavery
