The Battle of Fredericksburg (Part 5: 20th Maine)

Description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fredericksburg What more do you want me to say? The video doesn't display the parts of the battle taking place south of Fredericksburg... and I haven't studied the battle thoroughly enough to give you a play-by-play analysis of the entire thing. In this scene it's the 20th Maine's turn to be exploited by Burnside's ineptitude in crossing the Rappahannock early and cutting Lee's army in two.

A video response to the multitude of comments I've been receiving on the videos for Pickett's Charge, going on and on and on accusing Lee of being stupid, blaming Lee for the failed attack, and outright accusing him of faulty planning and thinking in the charge. We today have the gift of foresight, in knowing that the attack failed because of faulty Southern artillery, which overshot its intended targets. Lee intended a Napoleonic tactic in which all the Southern artillery would smash Union ...
The Battle of Fredericksburg (Part 6: Aftermath)
en.wikipedia.org Burnside's attempts to sweep across the Rappahannock and destroy Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia ended in failure, as he, in what would become typical of him, waited too long, and moved too slowly in crossing the river, giving the Confederates ample time to entrench themselves.

Little could be done by the Confederate forces but continue to march, and push the presumably decimated Federal lines back, thus breaking them and sending them into a panic-stricken rout....
