Burnside > his own pontoon bridge plan

Quote from Video

Therefore, Burnside would flank Lee by crossing the Rappahanock at Fredericksburg via pontoon bridges... In truth, the pontoon bridges were still in their assembly yard, upriver from Washington. The November 14th message actually said that the pontoons were built, but there were no horses to transport them.

Lee > Union center

Quote from Video

Lee’s plan was characteristically audacious. Longstreet’s corps would assemble with Pickett in the lead behind Seminary Ridge while Stuart moved around the Union right flank. Following a mass artillery barrage, both would charge the Union center somewhere near where Cemetery Hill became Cemetery Ridge, splitting the army in half.
