The union let by a newly appointed commander Ambrose Burnside, staged an attack across the Rappahannock River on both sides of Lee's army, the confederates held strong and were able to move out before the union bulk could arrive and eventually the union forces retreated after massive casualities (13,000ish union to 5,000 for the Grey coats).
