question 10 of 10
during the ____, union forces under general burnside were crushed by confederate general lees army.
a. battle of fredericksburg
b. potomac march
c. battle of antietam
d. mud march

Explanation:

The Battle of Fredericksburg was a significant Civil - War battle. General Burnside led the Union forces. The Confederate army under General Lee had a strategic advantage, including better positioning. The Union's frontal assaults on the Confederate positions (especially Marye's Heights) were repulsed with heavy losses.
The Potomac March was more of a movement rather than a single - battle event where such a crushing defeat occurred. The Battle of Antietam was a different battle (the bloodiest single - day battle in American history) with a different outcome in terms of the Union - Confederate interaction. The Mud March was a later, smaller - scale and less - decisive event compared to the Battle of Fredericksburg.

Answer:

A. Battle of Fredericksburg
