One of several monuments along this Sunken Road on the Battlefield along Antietam Creek. They are all Union. To the victor belong the spoils. Gallantry was evidenced on both sides as well as virtue in fighting for what they held and understood to be right. Overall Generalship must be credited to the South by any serious student of military history. The War Department used lessons learned here in the aftermath and up until the present to train the new generations of leaders in strategy and tactics. One who holds that things are not mere chance, but rather are subject to Providence, cannot but wonder how this Battle's outcome supported our common weal.
