## Resource

Union soldiers charged it again and again, and each time they were cut down. At the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862, Confederate troops behind a stone wall at Maryes Heights turned an open field into a killing ground. This is the story of why the attacks failed, how the wall became legendary, and how one of the most lopsided defeats of the Civil War unfolded in just a few brutal hours.
