The Battle of Antietam September 17, 1862. This was the bloodiest single day in American history. Men were buried in shallow and mass graves after serving their states valiantly. Southerners refer to This day as the Battle of Sharpsburg. See the TX and GA monuments in the “Cornfield”as well as the Bloody Lane and Burnside Bridge. Never Forget!
Sleeping in the rain, magic hour. Camping along Antietam Creek, Maryland. Nikkormat, 24mm. Fujichrome Provia 100.
Picked up this beautiful 34 Star Union Flag (1861-1863) in Sharpsburg Maryland a few years ago.
from /r/vexillology Top comment: I love these earlier designs when they didn't quite know how to arrange the current states + possible future ones. As for the current number, they're arranged quite nicely. AFAIK, there's still no definitive plan for the near future, like D.C. or Puerto Rico, so we might see some shifts in the future?

North America 157 years ago today: Battle of Antietam (17 Sep 1862) https://buff.ly/32JW5w2 Having established naval supremacy, Union forces landed on the Virginia peninsula and advanced on Richmond, only to be smashed by Confederate General Robert E. Lee in the Seven Days Battles. Lee followed up his victory with an invasion of Maryland, but was brought to a halt at the Battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg, the bloodiest single-day battle in American history. Antietam ended the threat to Washington and gave US President Abraham Lincoln confidence to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, officially ending slavery in the Confederacy. #northamerica #history #map #1860s #19thcentury #1862 #americancivilwar #americanhistory #uscivilwar #ushistory #confederacy #confederatestates #civilwarbuff #mexico #robertelee #september #september17 #antietam #sharpsburg #britishempire #abrahamlincoln #maps #todayinhistory #thisdayinhistory #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography (at Antietam National Battlefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2gZxM-gsW7/?igshid=7pj3zakcka44
