In the battle of Fredericksburg, General Burnsides had General Hooker attack at one end of a 15 mile line and General Meade attack at the other end. General Hooker's attack failed miserably. General Meade's attack succeeded at first, but General Stonewall Jackson had prepared for such a situation and developed the technique of "Defence in Depth." General Meade was not ready for that and his front line had to withdraw. Since the Union Army was spread out over such a long stretch, General Burnside had been unable to send reinforcements to General Meade when it would have brought a Union victory.
