No, Robert E. Lee did not win the Battle of Antietam. The battle was fought on September 17, 1862, during the American Civil War, and it was the first major battle to take place on Union soil. The battle was fought between the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, and the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George B. McClellan. The battle was a tactical draw, but the Union Army was able to claim a strategic victory because it prevented the Confederate Army from advancing into Maryland and potentially threatening Washington, D.C.
