Today is the 140th anniversary

Today is the 140th anniversary of the commencement of the momentous battle of Antietam, and today is as a result the anniversary of the bloodiest day in American history. Two columns note the anniversary: one by AP writer Lawrence Knutson, and one by Baltimore attorney Raymond Burke. Burke’s column is eloquent, informed, and brave.
