In November 1862, just four days after his promotion to commander of the Army of the Potomac, Ambrose Burnside moved his army to Fredericksburg, Virginia, directly across the Rappahannock River on Marye's Heights and Prospect Hill. The ensuing engagement, climaxing on December 13, stretched for miles, involved hundreds of thousands of men, produced staggering, unequal casualties (13,000 Federal soldiers compared to 4,500 Confederates), ruined the career of Burnside, embarrassed Abraham Lincoln, and distinguished Lee as one of the greatest military strategists of his era.
