Title:
The Battle of Fredericksburg (Part 6: Aftermath)
Description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fredericksburg#Aftermath 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. The Union suffered 12,653 casualties, to the Confederates' 5,377, the majority of Southern casualties taking place on Jackson's side as they were attacked early on. Despite this catastrophic failure, Burnside was not relieved of command until the next month, after a disastrous and aborted winter offensive called the "Mud March", in which the Union army would cross the Rappahannock yet again, and strike south of Fredericksburg at Lee's supply lines. Bad weather lead to the soldiers being knee-deep in mud, and Burnside being forced back to the Union camp. He was replaced by Joseph Hooker. After successfully beating back the Confederate charge at Gettysburg (Pickett's Charge) under highly similar circumstances, Union soldiers chanted "Fredericksburg!" at the retreating Confederates.

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 ... |
