Αmbrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 – September 13, 1881) was an American soldier, railroad executive, inventor, industrialist, and politician from Rhode Island, serving as governor and a U.S. Senator. As a Union Army general in the American Civil War, he conducted successful campaigns in North Carolina and East Tennessee but was defeated in the disastrous Battle of Fredericksburg and Battle of the Crater. His distinctive style of facial hair became known as sideburns, derived from his last name.

Am I seeing this or not?
Is this really the 1st point in the Quiz you have received?!
I looked over all the pages of questions posed and you never posted one? Did I miss something? I have made mistakes in my life, and could of may be carried your name over in the transfer of quiz command? Please let me know and don't take offence if I missed you some way. I will read each question to make it right if your missed.
And what was named after him?
