NOVEMBER 21, 1862:
General
Ambrose Burnside U.S.A. demands the surrender of Fredericksburg. The Mayor
agrees, but asks for time to allow civilians to evacuate. Burnside agrees to
this condition. What he does not know is that both Robert E. Lee and General
Longstreet have arrived in the city, and they determine that any Union attempt
to occupy Fredericksburg will be met with force. They are drawing Burnside into
a trap.
