Ambrose Burnside T-Shirt

Was a man known for his unusual facial hair that connected thick sideburns by way of a moustache, but left the chin clean-shaven. Ambrose Burnside was an American soldier, railroad executive, inventor, industrialist, and politician from Rhode Island. 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, earning his reputation as one of the most incompetent generals of the war. His distinctive style of facial hair is now known as sideburns, derived from his last name.
