A Bloodletting at Burnside Bridge | History Traveler Episode 253

As the fighting at the Battle of Antietam shifted to the south from places like the Cornfield and The Bloody Lane, the Union 9th Corps under General Ambrose Burnside was sent in to attack the right flank of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. But standing in their way would be a small group of Georgians guarding a bridge that later go on to be called Burnside Bridge.
