Answer:

Antietam.

Explanation:

  • After winning the Second Battle of Bull Run over the Northern Army, Confederate General Robert E. Lee decided to invade the North and transfer the war from Confederate territory to Union territory.
  • He penetrated with 55,000 troops across the Potomac River into the territory of the northern state of Maryland.
  • To counter it, US President Lincoln sent the Army of the Potomac under the command of George B. McClellan.
  • The battle took place on September 17, 1862 near the creek of Antietam. It was one of the bloodiest battles in all of American history. Although he had a double army of about 87,000 troops, Northern General McClellan sent less than three-quarters of his troops to war.
  • In total, about 23,000 soldiers were killed or disappeared.
  • McClellan failed to destroy the Southern Army, but Lee had to end the invasion of the North and retreat to Virginia.

Samuel Johnson: Lexicographer

Adam Smith: Philosopher

Samuel Pepys: Diarist

Oliver Cromwell: Political leader

Details:

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) published <em>A Dictionary of the English Language </em>in 1755, after many years of work on the project. It was the most commonly used English dictionary until the <em>Oxford English Dictionary </em>was first published in 1928.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) is best known for his economic theories, published in <em>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations </em>(1776). However, he also is well respected in the philosophical field of ethics, with his notable work in that area being <em>The Theory of Moral Sentiments </em>(1759).

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an administrator for the English navy and a member of Parliament. He is most famous, though, for a lengthy diary he kept for ten years of his life which provided thought and comments on events occurring at his time in history.

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) was the leader of Parliament's movement against King Charles I, and the military leader against the king's forces in the English Civil War. He went on to run the Commonwealth of England after the king was deposed and executed. He later took up the title of Lord Protector of England.
