Final Assault at Antietam | History Traveler Episode 254

After taking the Lower Bridge at Antietam, the Union 9th Corps began their final assault in an effort to outflank Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. But racing to hold off this attack was a division under A.P. Hill. In this episode, we're walking the ground where the bloodiest day in American history came to an end and where two generals would meet their end.
