It's September 17, 1862 and President Abraham Lincoln needs a victory in order to issue the Emancipation Proclamation and end slavery in the South. But Robert E. Lee has other plans - invade the North.

When Lee's strategy falls into the hands of the Union Army, the result is the single bloodiest day in American history at the Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland.

The Battle of Antietam results in more casualties than the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Spanish American War combined. In fact, the bloodiest day of World War II, D-Day, amounts to only one quarter of the casualties suffered at Antietam.

Narrated by Ronald F. Maxwell, director of the epic Civil War films "Gettysburg"  and "Gods & Generals," and written, produced and directed by Robert Child,  "Lincoln and Lee at Antietam - The Cost of Freedom" vividly brings to life the  story of America's fight for freedom in a battle that changed the course of the  Civil War.

Through first person accounts, an original music score from Composers Steve Heitzeg and Nicholas Palmer and scarce Antietam commemorative battle footage from the 125th, 135th and 140th Antietam Reenactments, this film tells the tale of the 14-hour epic Battle of Antietam.

- James M. McPherson, Princeton University, Pulitzer Prize winning author of “Battle Cry of Freedom" and "Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam"
- Allen C. Guelzo, Gettysburg College, America's only repeat winner of the Lincoln  Prize; Nominated by President George W. Bush to the National Council of the Humanities
