The Battle of Fredericksburg
The story of the battle
The large Union army spent Dec. 12 crossing the river into
the city initiating a new and highly destructive phase of the campaign.
The residents of Fredericksburg had left their homes the day before. Women,
children and elderly burdened with their most precious possessions trudged
along the muddy streets to seek refuge in outlying areas in what some Confederates
called the most depressing event they witnessed during the war.
