THINK ABOUT: What is in the picture? What message does the picture give? Were the photos taken before or after battle? Were the photos taken by members of the Union or Confederates? How do you know? Imagine you are standing within the frame of one of these photographs - how do you feel? Would Northerners tell the same story about the battle as southerners? Maryland was a border state and near Washington D.C. - why do you think General Robert E. Lee invaded Antietam?
