Answer:
In the Battle of Fredericksburg, Confederate troops were outnumbered but won the battle anyway.
Explanation:
The Battle of Fredericksburg, fought from December 11 to 15, 1862, between the Northern Virginia Army of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the Army of the Potomac commanded by Major General of the Union Ambrose E. Burnside, is remembered as one of the most unequal battles of the American Civil War. The Union Army suffered terrible losses in useless frontal assaults on December 13 against the Confederate defenders, well entrenched and barricaded in the hills behind the city, bringing an early end and serious defeat for the Army of the Potomac and for the Unionist campaign against Richmond, the capital of the Confederates.
This battle is remembered as one of the greatest Union's defeats in the Civil War, with Union casualties being more than twice as large than those suffered by the Confederates, despite having a third more soldiers than its enemy.
