While that was happening, Burnside’s diversion against veteran Confederate soldiers who were fighting behind a stone wall induced lots of casualties. As more federal soldiers came to capture Marye’s Heights, the Confederate Army could not be penetrated, and had rifle and artillery fire from their position. “A chicken could not live on this field”

Burnside wanted to ford near Falmouth (Rappahannock), but it was too deep, so Burnside had to wait for pontoon bridges to arrive in order to cross the river. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication between Henry Halleck (general chief of all the Union's army) and Burnside which was that the pontoons were delayed in arriving.

RESPONSE: Lee rushed his troops to dig in position in the hills south of the Rappahannock before most of Burnside's army could arrive.

PLAN: Burnside's first plan was to move the large force into Virginia in an advance toward the Confederate capital (Richmond). Just weeks after he was command, he had moved two advance corps to Falmouth, located on the north bank of the Rappahannock River across from Fredericksburg.

President Abraham had offered General Ambrose Burnside's overall command of the Union's Army of the Potomac because of past annoyance with the Union's present commander, George B. McClellan. Burnside turned the offers down both times, the first time since the Peninsula Campaign failed and the second after the Confederate Army had won the Second Battle of Bull Run. On November 7th, Lincoln removed McClellan from command and appointed Burnside. Burnside was reluctant at the beginning, but was later happy with the promotion and decided to strive to get a victory.
