Hi all,
After several discussions, once again getting asked which was worse Antietam 16/17 or Gettysburg Day 2 or Day 3...
Has anyone given any thought to seeing if we can determine which days at either battle were worse then the other?
Antietam with the bloodbath all over it, to Gettysburg with its meat grinding battles of the Wheatfield, Peach Orchard, DD+VD+LRT, and finally CH and ECH, which day was worst?
My take on all things consider is that Gettysburg on July 2 was just as bad as Antietam if not worse..
Anybody given any thought to this?

Antietam.
The CW should have ended soon after that day. Lee had no chance to destroy Meade at GB, but Antietam could have saved tens upon tens of thousands that died in the next 2 1/2 years.
