Both sides had losses, but it was a victory for the North.

In the Battle of Antietam both sides had losses, but it was a victory for the North.

Explanation:

The Battle of Antietam was the first great armed confrontation of the Civil War that took place in northern territory. The battle took place on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, in the county of Washington, Maryland, in the vicinity of the Antietam stream. The battle was part of the Maryland Campaign and is the bloodiest in the history of the United States that was fought in a single day, with almost 23,000 casualties.

Although not conclusive from a tactical point of view, it had a significant meaning, being regarded with some generosity by the Unionists as a "partial" victory for having provided President Abraham Lincoln with the right to issue his well-known Proclamation of Emancipation.
