"From the South: Rebel Accounts of the Battle of the Antietam – 3-4"

The NY Times here directly quoting the Richmond Enquirer: Confederates claimed victory at Antietam/Sharpsburg, saying Confederate forces of 60,000 defeated Union forces of 150,000.

Historians give Lee credit for fighting McClellan's larger force to a standstill, but in the end, Lee withdrew leaving Union forces in charge of the battlefield.

As to total numbers, historians agree that McClellan's forces outnumbered Lee's over two-to-one, but do not agree on the numbers engaged.
Reasonable numbers seem to be that Lee had 38,000 engaged, while of McClellan's 87,000 total, he committed barely 50,000 to the battle and that largely explains how Lee fought McClellan to a standstill.
