  Civil War Turning Points in the...

  The bloodiest day in American history took place on the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. On September 17, 1862, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia fought George McClellan’s Union Army of the Potomac outside Sharpsburg along Antietam Creek. That day, nearly 25,000 would become casualties, and Lee’s army would barely survive fighting the much bigger Northern army. Although the battle was tactically a draw, it resulted in forcing Lee’s army out of Maryland and back into Virginia, making it a strategic victory for the North and an opportune time for President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves in the rebellious states. For those reasons, Antietam is remembered as one of the major turning points of the Civil War, even as it is often overlooked that the bloody battle only represented the climactic culmination of a 3 week campaign that saw George McClellan cautiously pull a fragmented Union army together and begin tracking Lee’s army into Maryland.  
  	Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett’s Charge on the third and final day.

  A Night Before Christmas

  On a stormy Christmas Eve, an unexpected delay leads one lonely traveler to the holiday celebration she never knew she needed. 
   
  Known affectionately as “the Princess,” a wealthy young woman is traveling by carriage when a wheel becomes hopelessly trapped in the mud. While her driver searches for help, she follows a faint light through the trees and finds shelter in a small cottage occupied by two sisters, Jenny and Jinny. 
   
  Their home is modest, their Christmas tree is little more than a cedar branch, and their holiday meal consists of bean soup, homemade dumplings, and a chicken they plan to pretend is a turkey. Yet the cottage is filled with a warmth and happiness that the Princess has rarely experienced in her own grand but lonely home. 
   
  As the evening unfolds, she helps the girls pop corn, decorate their tree, share stories, and prepare for Christmas morning. What begins as a temporary refuge soon becomes an opportunity to create an unforgettable celebration—and to discover that generosity can bring as much joy to the giver as it does to those who receive. 
   
  Tender, nostalgic, and filled with old-fashioned holiday charm, Temple Bailey’s *A Night Before Christmas* is a heartwarming tale of kindness, belonging, and the simple human connections that make Christmas truly magical. 
   
  Narrated by Mike Polischuk.
