After George B. McClellan, General Ambrose E. Burnside took command of the Army of the Potomac. He led the army during the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862, where they faced significant challenges and suffered a costly defeat against Confederate forces. Burnside's leadership was short-lived, and he was eventually replaced by General Joseph Hooker in early 1863.
