Like most Civil War Generals on both sides, he was unaware of what a soldier with the new types of rifles they were equipped with in the war could do to the enemy. Plus General Ambrose Burnside was a terrible general who sent wave after wave of soldiers into battle, even though it was obvious that they had no chance of victory (without a great many casualties). Gen. Burnside was sent home after the failure of the Crater attack on Vicksburg and not recalled back to duty.
In WWI, such experiences were repeated; only this time by sending wave after wave of soldiers against the enemy armed with machines guns. The machine guns did the same thing, only much worse than the rifles did in the Civil War.

On Burnside Avenue
Union General Ambrose E. Burnside graduated from West Point in 1847. He ranked 18th among a graduating class of 38 cadets. Burnside had a long and distinguished career during the US Civil War and served for a time as the commander of the Army of the Potomac. Two situations, however,were embarrassing for him. The loss at Fredericksburg which caused many Union casualties and his blunder during the siege of Petersburg, in the infamous Burnside tunnel tragedy.
The new commander of the Army of the Potomac was Major General Ambrose Burnside. President Lincoln expected and ordered Ambrose to launch an attack on Richmond and to defeat any of General Lee's troops that were in the way of that goal. The elements that caused the large amount of Federal casualties were the pressures on Burnside to pursue the Union's longstanding goal of capturing Richmond. Another element was the problem of sending waves of soldiers across a long field that were subject to enemy artillery fire. Added to these factors were the stubborn tactics of Burnside who refused to alter his plans of attack that began at dawn December 13, 1862 and lasted until dusk. Twelve separate uncoordinated waves of Union soldiers were the targets of Rebel artillery and musket fire. Union casualties numbered 12,600 and Rebel casualties came to 5,300.
