The Union forces lost the battle of Fredericksburg because the Army of the Potomac was to attack frontally the Confederates entrenched on high ground, having no sufficient terrain to manoeuvre in order to make weigh their superior number over the enemy.

It was an other example of the superiority of the fire against the attack, carried on by infantry masses in a Napoleonic style.
