	Ambrose Burnside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 – September 13, 1881) was a railroad executive, an industrialist, and a politician from Rhode Island, serving as governor and a U.S. Senator.
		Burnside was given command of the "Right Wing" of the Army of the Potomac (the I and IX Corps) during the Maryland Campaign.
		Burnside was then ordered to take the IX Corps back to Virginia, where he fought in the Overland Campaign directly under Grant; his corps was not assigned initially to the Army of the Potomac because he outranked its commander, Major General George G. Meade, who had been a division commander under Burnside at Fredericksburg.

		Burnside's generalship was poor at the September 1862 Battle of Sharpsburg, Md., where a bridge his men crossed now bears his name, but even still his ability was much superior to the generalship of McClellan, the army commander.
		This time Burnside reluctantly accepted, but told his fellow generals "that he knew he was not fit for so big a command." In the next month's Battle of Fredericksburg, where his men were slaughtered in the attacks on Marye's Heights, Burnside proved that he had been a competent judge of his own capabilities.
		After the disastrous, humiliating January 1863 "Mud March," the army was taken from Burnside and he was assigned to the command of the Department of the Ohio.

		Burnside's lack of resolution, however, led to his losing the battle, in addition to disappointing Lincoln and injuring the army's morale.
