One political figure from Rhode Island is Ambrose E. Burnside. He was a governor who was born in Indiana and he attended West Point military academy. He then moved to Rhode Island to pursue his career in business . Then he became a major general in the state militia and then he promoted to lead the 2nd Brigade.Four days later he organized an expedition against the North Carolina coast. He was offered twice to command of the main Union army. He declined and instead he was given the command of the 1st and 9th corps during the Maryland operations. Burnside believed that he was good at leading troops because he won so many wars. Then people didn't like his ways of fighting wars because of his slowness and his tenure as commander of the army was ill-starred. Lincoln had heard about his reputation and defended him from criticism and he accepted his resignation. Burnsides reputation as commander was badly hurt. They gave him another chance but he didn't perform well and was sent on leave and he was never called back. Then he was elected governor of Rhode Island for 3 years ,from 1866 to 1868. Later in 1874 he was elected US senator and then he served until he died on September 13,1881.
