This combined force captured Roanoke Island on February 8\, 1862\, and destroyed Flag Officer William Lynch’s North Carolina Squadron at Elizabeth City. Now controlling the Albemarle and Crotan sounds\, Burnside woud next advance against New Bern and Beaufort to complete Union control of the North Carolina sounds. \n\nCivil War Lecture: Burnside’s Roanoke Island Expedition\nApril 9 • 12 p.m. (EST)\n\nViewers are welcome to send any comments or questions to John\, and he will answer them following his talk. \n\nImage credit: The Burnside expedition landing at Roanoke Island – February 7th.
