Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside [US]; Gen. Robert E. Lee [CS] Forces Engaged: 172,504 total US 100,007; CS 72,497 Estimated Casualties: 17,929 total US 13,353; CS 4,576 Description: On November 14, Burnside, now in command of the Army of the Potomac, sent a corps to occupy the vicinity of Falmouth near Fredericksburg. The rest of the army soon followed. Lee reacted by entrenching his army on the heights behind the town. On December 11, Union engineers laid five pontoon bridges across the Rappahannock under fire. On the 12th, the Federal army crossed over, and on December 13, Burnside mounted a series of futile frontal assaults on Prospect Hill and Marye?s Heights that resulted in staggering casualties. Meade?s division, on the Union left flank, briefly penetrated Jackson?s line but was driven back by a counterattack. Union generals C. Feger Jackson and George Bayard, and Confederate generals Thomas R.R. Cobb and Maxey Gregg were killed. On December 15, Burnside called off the offensive and recrossed the river, ending the campaign. Burnside initiated a new offensive in January 1863, which quickly bogged down in the winter mud. The abortive ?Mud March? and other failures led to Burnside?s replacement by Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker in January 1863.

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant [US]; Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton [CS] Forces Engaged: Army of the TN [US]; Army of Vicksburg [CS] Estimated Casualties: 19,233 total US 10,142; CS 9,091 Description: In May and June of 1863, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant?s armies converged on Vicksburg, investing the city and entrapping a Confederate army under Lt. Gen. John Pemberton. On July 4, Vicksburg surrendered after prolonged siege operations. This was the culmination of one of the most brilliant military campaigns of the war. With the loss of Pemberton?s army and this vital stronghold on the Mississippi, the Confederacy was effectively split in half. Grant's successes in the West boosted his reputation, leading ultimately to his appointment as General-in-Chief of the Union armies.

Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside [US]; Brig. Gen. John S. Williams [CS] Forces Engaged: Department of the OH [US]; 1st TN Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, 4th Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, and some home guard troops and artillery [CS] Estimated Casualties: 316 total US 100; CS 216 Description: Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, commander of the Department of the OH, undertook an expedition into East TN to clear the roads and passes to Virginia, and, if possible, secure the saltworks beyond Abingdon. In October, Confederate Brig. Gen. John S. Williams, with his cavalry force, set out to disrupt Union communications and logistics. He wished to take Bull?s Gap on the East TN & Virginia Railroad. On October 3, while advancing on Bull?s Gap, he fought with Brig. Gen. Samuel P. Carter?s Union Cavalry Division, XXIII Army Corps, at Blue Springs, about nine miles from Bull?s Gap, on the railroad. Carter, not knowing how many of the enemy he faced, withdrew. Carter and Williams skirmished for the next few days. On October 10, Carter approached Blue Springs in force. Williams had received some reinforcements. The battle began about 10:00 am with Union cavalry engaging the Confederates until afternoon while another mounted force attempted to place itself in a position to cut off a Rebel retreat. Captain Orlando M. Poe, the Chief Engineer, performed a reconnaissance to identify the best location for making an infantry attack. At 3:30 pm, Brig. Gen. Edward Ferrero?s 1st Division, IX Army Corps, moved up to attack, which he did at 5:00 pm. Ferrero?s men broke into the Confederate line, causing heavy casualties, and advanced almost to the enemy?s rear before being checked. After dark, the Confederates withdrew and the Federals took up the pursuit in the morning. Within days, Williams and his men had retired to Virginia. Burnside had launched the East TN Campaign to reduce or extinguish Confederate influence in the area; Blue Springs helped fulfill that mission. Results: Union victory CWSAC Reference #: TN020 4 Campbell?s Station Location: Knox Co Now Farragut, TN City named after Admiral David Glasgow Farragut Campaign: Knoxville Campaign 1863 Dates: November 16, 1863 Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside [US]; Lt. Gen. James Longstreet [CS] Forces Engaged: Department of the OH [US]; Confederate Forces in East TN [CS] Estimated Casualties: 970 total US 400; CS 570 Description: In early November 1863, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, with two divisions and about 5,000 cavalry, was detached from the Confederate Army of TN near Chattanooga to attack Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside?s Union Department of the OH troops at Knoxville, TN. Following parallel routes, Longstreet and Burnside raced for Campbell?s Station, a hamlet where the Concord Road, from the south, intersected the Kingston Road to Knoxville. Burnside hoped to reach the crossroads first and continue on to safety in Knoxville; Longstreet planned to reach the crossroads and hold it, which would prevent Burnside from gaining Knoxville and force him to fight outside his earthworks. By forced marching, on a rainy November 16, Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside?s advance reached the vital intersection and deployed first. The main column arrived at noon with the baggage train just behind. Scarcely 15 minutes later, Longstreet?s Confederates approached. Longstreet attempted a double envelopment: attacks timed to strike both Union flanks simultaneously. Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaw?s Confederate division struck with such force that the Union right had to redeploy, but held. Brig. Gen. Micah Jenkins?s Confederate division maneuvered ineffectively as it advanced and was unable to turn the Union left. Burnside ordered his two divisions astride the Kingston Road to withdraw three-quarters of a mile to a ridge in their rear. This was accomplished without confusion. The Confederates suspended their attack while Burnside continued his retrograde movement to Knoxville. Had Longstreet reached Campbell's Station first, the Knoxville Campaign?s results might have been different.

Lafayette McLaw?s Confederate division struck with such force that the Union right had to redeploy, but held. Brig. Gen. Micah Jenkins?s Confederate division maneuvered ineffectively as it advanced and was unable to turn the Union left. Burnside ordered his two divisions astride the Kingston Road to withdraw three-quarters of a mile to a ridge in their rear. This was accomplished without confusion. The Confederates suspended their attack while Burnside continued his retrograde movement to Knoxville. Had Longstreet reached Campbell's Station first, the Knoxville Campaign?s results might have been different.
