	The Battle Of Antietam Part V
		Those who believe that Burnside was a faithful, intelligent, and brave soldier, will probably retain a different opinion of his conduct at the Antietam from that of those who believe that his presence was an element of weakness, or worse, wherever and whenever he held an important command.
		Burnside became a mere receiver and transmitter of orders to the commander of the Ninth Corps, and on the other hand it may easily be believed that so good a soldier as Cox would have shown more activity and accomplished more, if he had felt himself really the commander of the Ninth Corps.
		With Burnside close to him, he probably felt as if he were the mere tactical leader of the corps, not thinking for it, but simply seeing that it executed the orders which came to him from or through Burnside.

		The cadets and their instructors concluded that, while Burnside may have erred in his decision to storm the bridge, it was a reasonable course to have taken.
		Against such numbers, an attempt to wade the creek with massive numbers of troops might have resulted in a failure as bloody as the doomed frontal assaults at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862--assaults for which Burnside is vigorously faulted.
		By using a relatively small force to secure the bridge, Burnside minimized the casualties involved in effecting a crossing.

		On the morning of September 17, 1862, Gen. Ambrose Burnside, commanding the left wing of Gen. George McClellan’s Army of the Potomac, was under orders to cross Antietam Creek and attack Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Confederates in front of Sharpsburg, Maryland.
		If Burnside’s attack had been delivered as planned, in combination with a simultaneous attack by Gen. William Franklin’s troops on the right, it would have probably been enough to break Lee’s lines and drive him in retreat across the Potomac River.
		Somehow, Burnside and his officers became fixated on a stone bridge across the creek, and directed all their efforts toward capturing the bridge.

		While the defense of these safety issues is both necessary and commendable, marked by examples of research15,16 substantially more rigorous than those studies often cited as a means for attacking the practice of cervical manipulations,2-6 it is imperative for us to try to maintain a perspective on the big picture.

	Warning to the Profession: The Ballad of Burnside Bridge
		On September 17, 1862, Union General Ambrose Burnside directed an attack against the Confederate Army by marching his 12,000 troops across a narrow bridge spanning the Antietam River near Sharpsburg, Maryland.

		While the Battle of Antietam was fought on several fronts, General Burnside's unrelenting and painfully slow march across a bridge that could accommodate only a few columns of soldiers was disastrous.
