During the American Civil War, the Battle of Fredericksburg (Virginia) in December 1862 was caused by the offensive plan of the Union leadership (including President Lincoln and the top military commander in the Eastern Theater, Major General Ambrose Burnside) to launch a daring attack on the South's capital of Richmond. While the attack-plan may have been brilliant on paper, its execution was cumbersome as well as transparent to the sharp-eyed Southern force, led by General Robert E. Lee, which deployed successfully to stop it.
