The Battle of Fredericksburg (Part 2: "Hail Caesar")

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fredericksburg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharsalia The Union forces began crossing the pontoon bridge, while Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain recounts a passage from Marcus Lucanus regarding Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon river in the Civil War between he and Pompeius. Using this space to get this out of the way, I should say that the Union army did attempt to flank the Confederates, and attacked the lines of A.P. Hill and Thomas Jackson far left of the town of Fredericksburg itself. However, the core action in the video clips focuses on the charges made against Longstreet's lines on Marye's heights.
