Product Description

This vintage illustrated poster depicts the Battle of Fredericksburg in Virginia during the Civil War. The battle dates to December 11-15, 1862.

The Battle of Fredericksburg, the principal battle of the Fredericksburg Campaign, was fought December 11-15, 1862, in and around Fredericksburg, Virginia, between General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. It is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the American Civil War. The Union Army suffered terrible casualties in futile frontal assaults on December 13 against entrenched Confederate defenders on the heights behind the city, bringing to an early end their campaign against the Confederate capital of Richmond.
