Mississippi. Union raid along the Mobile & Ohio Railroad from Corinth to Tupelo began.

Southwest Creek, North Carolina. The Union expedition of Brigadier-General John Gray Foster reached Southwest Creek, a small tributary of the Neuse River near Kinston. Two regiments forced a crossing of the creek, driving back the Confederate regiment holding the position. When Confederate Brigadier-General Nathan George Evans arrived, he withdrew his forces to a new defensive line two miles from the bridge across the Neuse at Kinston and held this strong natural position overnight.

Tennessee. Confederate Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest began to cross the Tennessee River at Clifton to raid the Mobile & Ohio Railroad.

Tennessee. Confederate President Jefferson Finis Davis carried out an inspection of the Army of Tennessee at Murfreesboro.

Virginia. Skirmish at Leesburg.

Virginia. Confederate Brigadier-General Wade Hampton returned from his cavalry raid to Dumfries, bringing in a captured wagon train and 50 prisoners for the loss of no casualties.

Fredericksburg, Virginia. Union Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside’s Army of the Potomac mounted a series of attacks on entrenched Confederate positions at Fredericksburg. After Confederate Lieutenants-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson’s troops arrived overnight, the Confederates were deployed as follows. Four of the five divisions of Lieutenant-General James Longstreet’s I Corps under Major-General Richard Heron Anderson, Major-General Lafayette McLaws, Major-General George Edward Pickett, and Major-General John Bell Hood held the heights west of Fredericksburg for a distance of five miles. The fifth division under Brigadier-General Robert Ransom was in reserve. Jackson had four divisions. The front of the two-mile line was held by Major-General Ambrose Powell Hill’s large division with a second line held by the divisions of Brigadier-General William Booth Taliaferro and Brigadier-General Jubal Anderson Early. The division of Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill was the last to arrive from Port Riyal and was held in reserve. Major-General James Ewell Brown’s cavalry held the right flank from Hamilton’s Crossing to Massaponax Creek.
The battle opened south of the city at 8:30 am when Union Major-General William Buel Franklin sent two divisions from his Left Grand Division towards Jackson’s defences on the Confederate right flank. By 10 am, a thick fog began to lift, and the initially sluggish movements picked up speed. Major-General George Gordon Meade’s division formed the main attack, supported by the divisions of Brigadier-General Abner Doubleday and Brigadier-General John Gibbon. The attack was stalled by the Confederate horse artillery under Major John Pelham as an artillery duel between Pelham and the Union artillery batteries lasted for about an hour. Pelham started with two guns but continued with only a single 12-pounder Napoleon gun after his rifled Blakely gun was disabled by counter-battery fire. The horse artillery changed location continually and disrupted the Union advance by this threat to its exposed left flank.
As the Union lines reformed, the Union artillery began to pound the Confederate defences. The bulk of the Confederate artillery withheld its fire until the infantry attack came within 800 yards. Doubleday’s division had to face south to protect the flank against the threat of further harassment from the Confederate cavalry. To Meade’s right, Gibbon’s attack made progress against the brigades of Brigadier-General William Dorsey Pender and Brigadier-General Edward Lloyd Thomas. Gibbon’s division stalled at point-blank range when they approached a well-defended railroad embankment. Gibbon was wounded and by 1:30 pm a heavy Confederate counterattack had pushed them back. The division had to be recalled from a potential trap. Meade continued to lead the way towards a previously unseen gap in the Confederate line. At about 11.30 am, Meade’s attack penetrated an unoccupied boggy area about five hundred yards wide and attacked Brigadier-General Maxcy Gregg’s brigade in the flank, scattering it. Gregg was mortally wounded and died two days later. Early’s Confederate division counter-attacked and drove Meade’s Pennsylvanians out of the boggy gap and pursued them across the open fields beyond. The Union troops lost very heavily until they came back under the protection of their own guns. The Union men were driven back aggressively by the Confederate infantry, raising concerns that they might be trapped against the river. Eventually, the Union divisions of Brigadier-General Daniel Edgar Sickles and Brigadier-General David Bell Birney were brought up to strengthen the defence and Jackson’s counterattack ground to a halt. The Confederates hurried back to their original line to escape the increasingly heavy artillery fire.
Further north, dense fog prevented the Union artillery from beginning to silence the Confederate guns until it cleared at around 10 am, and then at 10.30 a persistent bombardment began. The Confederate gunners made some attempt to reply but mainly prepared to oppose an infantry assault. The first Union assaults west of Fredericksburg began at 11 am as Brigadier-General William Henry French’s division started to move west along the Plank Road, facing a steep-banked drainage ditch and an open plain 400 yards wide, dominated by Confederate infantry and artillery behind a sunken road and stone wall. Union artillery fired overhead as the Union men filed in columns over three small bridges whose planks had been removed, forcing the troops to cross in single file along the stringers. The jam of troops at the drainage ditch offered a massed target. Attempts to shift the attack farther to the right failed because of swampy ground. Burnside had anticipated that this attack on the right would be merely supportive of his main effort on the left, but Franklin had stalled and he resisted entreaties to continue, so Burnside shifted his emphasis to the sector west of the town. The northern or tight flank advance concentrated towards a road flanked by stone walls that ran along the base of Marye’s Heights. This was manned by the Confederate brigade of Brigadier-General Thomas Reed Rootes Cobb. Although it was exposed ahead of the main line, Cobb insisted that this near-fortress could be held against any number of attackers, if given help by the artillery on the ridge behind. French’s division was repulsed with heavy losses and did not come near to the stone wall. Burnside then sent in the divisions of Brigadier-General Winfield Scott Hancock and Brigadier-General Oliver Otis Howard, which met with a similar fate as French.
By this time, Confederate Major-General George Edward Pickett’s division and one of Major-General John Bell Hood’s brigades, had marched north to reinforce Marye’s Heights, evacuating their own sectors which were not under threat. Burnside’s men continued to attack the Confederate strong point with persistence, courage, and futility. Only the relentless artillery fire from Stafford heights was causing any anxiety to the Confederate defenders. After a brief lull, Union Brigadier-General Charles Griffin’s division renewed the attack at 3:30 pm. Their effort to outflank the wall from the right was blocked by a previously unseen marsh. They were followed by Brigadier-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys’ division at 4 pm in the twilight. Humphreys ordered his men to advance without firing, relying on speed to cross the deadly ground. The attack was timed to exploit the removal of a Confederate artillery battalion as it departed to replenish its ammunition. It was not retreating, however, but was being replaced by a battalion from the reserve. Union batteries accompanied the advance to within 300 yards of the stone wall but they were brought under such heavy fire that they could not produce a good rate of fire.
Cobb’s brigade was reinforced from the reserve by Ransom’s Confederate division to add even greater density to the ranks of rifles along the stone wall. The Union infantry got no closer than in any other of the attacks but Cobb himself was mortally wounded. At dusk, Brigadier-General George Washington Getty’s division assaulted from the east and was also repulsed. The futile efforts ended at 6 pm.
Six Union divisions had attacked, in most cases with one brigade at a time, making a total of sixteen individual charges, all of which failed with a cost of 6,000 to 8,000 casualties. The Irish Brigade alone lost 545 of its 1,300 men when it advanced further up the heights than any other brigade. Confederate losses at Marye’s Heights amounted to around 1,200. Late in the day, Jackson prepared a counter-attack to the south but as his artillery moved forward it was lashed from the Union guns on Stafford heights. The weight of fire was so great that Jackson immediately cancelled the advance. The falling of darkness and the pleas of Burnside’s subordinates were enough to put an end to the attacks. Franklin continued to refuse advance again, seeing Jackson’s abortive attack as proof of a threat to his own force.
The Union army suffered 12,653 casualties (1,284 killed, 9,600 wounded, 1,769 captured or missing). Union Brigadier-General George Dashiell Bayard and Brigadier-General Conrad Feger Jackson were mortally wounded. The Confederate army lost 5,309 to 5,377 (608 killed, 4,116 wounded, 653 captured or missing). However, Confederate losses were adjusted later to 4,201 after a number of absent men returned to the ranks. (CWSAC Decisive Battle – Confederate Victory)
