at which battle did general ambrose burnside send his troops into a disastrous assault on confederate positions?
battle of fredericksburg
battle of gettysburg
battle of antietam
battle of chancellorsville

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall Civil War battles. General Ambrose Burnside led the Union in the Battle of Fredericksburg, where his troops' assault on Confederate positions (behind a stone wall at Marye's Heights) was disastrous, with heavy casualties. The Battle of Gettysburg was led by Meade, Antietam by McClellan (Burnside was there but not leading the disastrous assault in question), and Chancellorsville by Hooker (with Lee's forces). So the correct answer is the Battle of Fredericksburg.

Answer:

A. Battle of Fredericksburg
