Ambrose E. Burnside: A Pivotal Figure in the American Civil War From leading the ships of his Burnside Expedition over Hatteras Bar in 1861, to the failed attack at Fredericksburg's End of the Bridge in 1862, Ambrose E. Burnside's military career during the American Civil War was marked by both triumph and tragedy. Born in Rhode Island in 1824, Burnside began his military service as a militia officer before the war. His political connections, including his tenure as a U.S. Senator, helped propel him to commanding roles in the Union Army. One of Burnside's most notable achievements came during the Battle of Roanoke Island in 1862, where his troops successfully landed and secured the strategic location, paving the way for Union control of the North Carolina coast. Despite his successes, Burnside's tenure as a Union general was not without controversy. His innovative "Burnside Rifles" and "Burnside Slings" were met with mixed results on the battlefield, and his decision to order a frontal assault at Fredericksburg in December 1862 resulted in heavy Union losses. After the war, Burnside returned to Rhode Island and resumed his political career. He is remembered not only for his military service but also for his contributions to industry, particularly in the field of textiles. This collection of images captures various aspects of Ambrose E. Burnside's life, from his military career to his political and industrial pursuits.
