American Civil War - The Battle of Antietam with Historian Matt Borders
Apr 202:04:29Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode we are joined by Historian Matt Borders to discuss The Battle of Antietam. Matt discusses the Battle of Antietam, which occurred on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland. Matt provided a comprehensive overview of the battle, explaining Robert E. Lee's strategic reasons for invading northern Maryland and the tactical movements of both Confederate and Union forces. He detailed the three phases of fighting, focusing on the morning attacks in the cornfield, the afternoon battle around the sunken road (known as Bloody Lane), and the southern end fighting around Burnside Bridge. The discussion covered key units like the Irish Brigade and the Iron Brigade, as well as the challenging terrain and weather conditions that affected the battle. Brian shared information about a local soldier from Haverhill, Massachusetts who served in the 28th Massachusetts Regiment and wrote letters home describing his experiences. The conversation concluded with Matt explaining Antietam's significance as a turning point in the Civil War, allowing for the Emancipation Proclamation that changed the war's focus from preserving the Union to ending slavery.Support the show*Please note all opinions expressed on The Three Guys Podcast do not represent any Group, Company or Organization*Episodes Produced by 78Brettzky ProductionsInstagram: The Three Guys Podcast (@the_three_guys_podcast_) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: The Three Guys Podcast (@TheThreeGuysPo1) / TwitterYouTube: Three Guys Podcast - YouTubeLinkedIn the-three-guys-podcastDerek: Derek DePetrillo (@derekd0518) • Instagram photos and videosBrian: Brian Nazarian (@the_real_brian_nazarian) • Instagram photos and videosBrett: Brett J.
