Graduation from West Point
Burnside graduated in the middle of his class. -
Battle of Fredericksburg General
Burnside suffered a disappointing lose at the Battle of Fredericksburg. -
Battle of the Wilderness General
Burnside commanded the 9th Corps for the Union Army. Burnside and his troops remained north of the river at the battle to protect the lengthy supply chains going to the main fighters for the Union Army. The battle was considered a draw. I believe Burnside was effective at the battle because he was the one that made sure the supplies needed to keep the Union Army fighting, got to them. -
Death of Burnside
He died at Bristol, Rhode Island, on the 13th of September 1881.
