The Battle of Antietam September 17, 1862. This was the bloodiest single day in American history. Men were buried in shallow and mass graves after serving their states valiantly. Southerners refer to This day as the Battle of Sharpsburg. See the TX and GA monuments in the “Cornfield”as well as the Bloody Lane and Burnside Bridge. Never Forget!
Confederate flags never flew over a slave ship.

Something you will not hear in school...Alf Whiting was born in Winchester VA. He enlisted in the Army in 1861 serving in Company K, 13th VA Infantry with Isaac Brady, later they were transferred to the 11th VA Cavalry. They were both captured and jailed at Cumberland, MD. Mr. Brady was sent to Camp Chase, OH and Alf was offered his freedom, but refused to take the oath of allegiance or to remain with the Federals. Mr. Brady’s Father, Samuel D. Brady, who lived near Cumberland went on Whiting’s bond for $6,000.00 in the condition that he would not cross the river into VA during the war.
