Name: ____________________________________________ Date: _____________ Block: _____ Quiz: Antietam (September 17, 1862) 1. Do you think the Union and Confederate generals knew how important the battle at Antietam would be in the course of the Civil War? Why or why not? 2. In the summer of 1862, Lincoln’s cabinet did not want him to sign the Emancipation Proclamation while the Union was losing because it looked like a desperate move. They told him to wait until they had a victory. Do you agree with the cabinet’s opinion? Why or why not? 3. In 1862, some European leaders considered supporting the Confederates. How did the battle at Antietam change this? Why? 4. Although Antietam was not a clear victory for the Union, Lincoln’s advisors told him it was sufficient enough to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. If Antietam had not occurred, do you think the Emancipation Proclamation would have been signed? Why or why not? 5. Why is Antietam considered a turning point in American history? How did it change the reasons for fighting the Civil War? From your prior knowledge, what other Civil War events and battles do you think were equally or more important?
