well there can only be one "bloodiest day" in America since the body count isn't going to be equal (speculation or no). and no, no one was standing there with a ticker, but casualty-wise, given what we have to go on, that bloodiest "day" is indisputably September 17th. Gettysburg had three days to pile up bodies (about 46 thousand of them). Antietam only had those few hours (to pile up about 24 thousand casualties). So it's not so much which two hours are being compared since no two hours at Gettysburg piled up as many bodies as at Antietam.
and at some point you just think about the sheer volume we're talking here and it's all so vile that the point seems moot ~ dead is dead, and horrendously so.
not a paulsen fan either, so it all prolly neither here nor there anyway ~ hahahahahaha.
