Question 20 • RS AZ-US History A

Which statement best describes the result of the Battle of Antietam?

Answer
A
Neither side won, but it was a victory for the South.
B
Both sides had losses, but it was a victory for the North.
C
Confederate troops won the Battle of Antietam decisively.
D
Union troops won the Battle of Antietam decisively.

Explanation

The Battle of Antietam ended without a decisive battlefield victory, and both the Union and Confederacy suffered heavy losses. However, Confederate General Robert E. Lee withdrew from Maryland afterward, so the Union gained a strategic victory. The best description is “Both sides had losses, but it was a victory for the North.”
