ChuckSiata
In December of 1862 the Army of the Potomac has a new leader, Major General Ambrose Burnside. At Fredericksburg, Virginia he order massive frontal assaults on heavily fortified Rebel positions on Marye's Heights, over looking Fredericksburg. One source has it that via telegraph President Lincoln is following the the military operations and orders Burnside to make a frontal attack. At least 12 waves of Federals assault the entrenched positions. They take fire from Confederates behind a high wall and also from artillery on the heights overlooking the battlefield.It's a Union disaster and General Robert E. Lee is on the heights observing the slaughter. There is where he makes his famous quote of : "It's well that war is so terrible otherwise we should become too fond of it".
