The fighting took place during the Battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862).
In the afternoon of that day the commander of Unionist IX Corps, general Ambrose Burnside, attacked the Confederate right wing, forcing the passage on the Antietam Creek through a small bridge and deploying his troops
beyond the same.
From that day the bridge was called "Burnside Bridge" in memory of the brilliant action.
The Battle of Antietam was tactically indecisive although McClellan claimed the victory because Lee's Army left the battlefield the following day, retreating from Maryland. Strategically it was a success for the Union because Lee failed his major task, that of destroy or put out of combat The Army of Potomac.
