Single ladies of Internet, why do you think the Union failed in the battle of Fredericksburg in December of 1862 during Ambrose Burnside’s invasion into confederate held Virginia?

Fun fact, Ambrose Burnside was known to sport some pretty impressive whiskers along the sides of his face and actually popularized the term “sideburns.” So single ladies of MassimoL, he was probably available at the time.

Also it was probably because of this:

>Unfortunately for Burnside, the section of the Rappahannock near Falmouth was too deep to ford, so he was forced to wait for pontoon bridges to arrive in order to cross the river. Due to a miscommunication between Burnside and Henry Halleck, general in chief of all Union armies, the pontoons were delayed in arriving, and James Longstreet’s Confederate corps had ample time to occupy a strong position on Marye’s Heights in Fredericksburg. On December 11, as Burnside crossed the Rappahannock with more than 120,000 Union troops, Lee offered only a token resistance in order to give Stonewall Jackson’s corps time to connect with Longstreet’s, stretching out the Confederate line by some three miles.

If I had a gold to give, I’d give it for this question. Bravo OP 🙂

Edit: My first Gold 😀 Thank you!

Damn, u/ZacksPocketChange . You’re smooth AF

Obligatory not a single lady, but I know a couple single ladies.

Too bad that I never got their phone numbers to give you their answer.

Bitch did not have enough uniqueness, nerve, charisma or talent.
