Explanation: US Civil War General Ambrose Burnside was not a particularly accomplished commander, though he was a good Union boy and acutely aware of his own limitations. As such, he has little in terms of historical legacy - except an excellent carbine, and his facial hair, which is still known as sideburns to this day, in his honor!
Legacy or war crime?
