McClellan would have destoryed the Army of Norhtern VIrignia at the Battle of ANtietem if he had only had good intelligence as to its actual size.

Let me try that again -- this time using the spell-check:

McClellan would have destroyed the Army of Northern Virginia at the Battle of Antietam -- if he had only had good intelligence as to its actual size.

McClellan would have destoryed the Army of Norhtern VIrignia at the Battle of ANtietem if he had only had good intelligence as to its actual size.

Is that the battle where McClellan had the South's battle plan(the plans had been found wrapped around some cigars) but refused to believe them?
