__** Fredricksburg (December 13, 1862) **__

the battle fedricksburg started because of the conferderate army was in in fredricksburg, Virgina and the union army was going to engage the confederate army. The union army had to make a makeshift bridge to cross the Rappahannock River to get into Fredericksburg. The Cofederates were sniping the union as they tried crossing the bridge they as the Union just wanted to try and infultrate the city. and there attempts tring were futile because there tries of getting into the city were stopped before a shot was even fired. soon after General Ambrose E. Burnside turned to his artillery which lasted almost 2 hours. As they eventually bdmbarded the city on the 11th on the 12th the Union didnt really make any attack although they sent in many renforcements neither for the Confederates. On the morning of the 13th the Union plained a assult on Jackson's corps to charge toward jacksons artillery up marye's heights as the union bunkered down in a sunkin road with a wall.
