On this day in 1852, the Battle of Fredericksburg, a bloody engagement of the American Civil War in which Confederate troops were led to victory by General Robert E. Lee over the Union forces of General Ambrose Everett Burnside was waged. The battle was of strategic importance to the Union as capturing the Rappahannock River and the city of Fredericksburg would put the Union closer to the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. The combination of logistical failures, difficult terrain, and relentless, suicidal attacks against overwhelming defenses led to massive Union casualties and a decisive Confederate victory.
