Our art piece is red because it is representing that the battle was the bloodiest day in American history. It has pictures of the fallen soldiers that were killed or injured in the battle. It also has a picture of a burial party from the battle to represent how much of a sad day for the country, there were over 22,720 casualties from the battle. Nobody won but the south was forced to retreat across the Potomac river. The picture of a cannon represents the fact that they tried to use cannons and over 500 of them were set up on the hills overlooking the battle.
