The Divided Union: The Story of the American Civil War 1861-1865
Bloody Stalemate
E2
Bloody Stalemate deals with the early skirmishes and how the South fails to exploit its initial victory at Manassas, the North's decisive victory at Shiloh, the Battle of Antietam where more Americans died in a single day than on any field of battle before or since and concludes with President Lincoln's first Emancipation Proclamation.
