1863 Assaults Bombardment Burnside Defeat Federal Fredericksburg Heights Loss Potomac Suffering Virginia


EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the aftermath of one of the most disastrous battles of the American Civil War: the Bombardment of Fredericksburg. The scene unfolds on the wintery plains of Virginia, where the Army of the Potomac, led by General Ambrose Burnside, had launched 14 unsuccessful assaults on Marye's Heights between December 11 and 15, 1863. The Federals, who suffered a devastating defeat, are seen here in the aftermath of the battle, their spirits dampened and their ranks depleted. The loss of life was staggering, with 12,653 men from the Union army being reported killed, wounded, or missing. The image, taken by the renowned English illustrator, I.L. Nielsen, for the Illustrated London News, offers a chilling glimpse into the human cost of the war. The general in the foreground, believed to be General Burnside himself, wears a pensive expression, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the import of the moment in American history. The Bombardment of Fredericksburg remains a pivotal moment in the Civil War, a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides and the enduring impact of this tumultuous period in American history.
