Is this thread meant to be an antiquarian chronology only or is it OK to comment on some of the posts?
Until further notice, then -
Except for the invasion of Okinawa (April 45) Antietam
killed more Americans per minute than any other fight we ever fought. The dead American count racks up quick when we fight each other.
