The Battle of Antietam (or Sharpsburg). There were around twenty-four thousand casualties, combined, in both armies. Not all of these died. About 3,600 died and the rest were wounded or missing. There were 12,400 Yankee casualties (2,401 dead, 9,540 wounded, and 753 missing) and 10,300 Confederate casualties (1,546 dead, 7,752 wounded, 1,018 missing). The Yankees put into the fight twice as many men as the Confederates had, and did not even put two of their seven corps in. Had the Yankees put in all their men or made a coordinated attack with the ones they did put in, they might have ended the war that day.
The "Lost Order" was a big controversy after the war, when former Confederates were writing their books and blaming one another for losing the war.

The battle between arthur's and morded's armies starts when a soldier draws his sword to kill an adder?
Yes, you are absolutely correct. Before the battle King Arthur and Mordred decide to settle for a truce. But, before they met, each ordered their armies that if any soldier from the opposite camp draws his sword then they should not hesitate to start the battle. Just as everything was going well, an adder slithers amidst the soldiers (I think Mordred's soldiers) and someone draws his sword to kill it. The sword glimmers under the sun and the battle begins.

What ancient Greek battle tactic was also used by soldiers in the US Civil War?
Early ancient Greek battle tactics are identified as "shock tactics". Before archery, javelins and heavy cavalry were employed by the Greeks, the basic battle tactic was fighting hand to hand with unsophisticated weapons of war. Three thousand years later, the soldiers of the US Civil War had highly developed weapons and sophisticated battle tactics. With that said, however, "shock tactics" lived on through the millenniums. Soldiers in the US Civil War had a weapon for "shock tactics" and when fighting in close quarters, the fixed bayonet was the instrument of "shock value".
