How did the confederacy win the battle of Fredricksburg?
It was made easy for them by the Union commander, Ambrose Burnside, who was kept waiting for the pontoons he needed to cross the river. If they had arrived promptly, he could have captured the heights, as there were only a few enemy in position. By the time they did arrive, the Confederates had had time to man the high ground, but Burnside still went ahead with his doomed attack. It was such a one-sided contest that Lee was seen to rush about hugging fellow-officers with glee - the only time this normally chilly aristocrat was ever seen to let his hair down.
