By mid 1863 the South was facing a shortage of men able to withstand the rigors of war. With the loss of approximately 12000 men in killed, wounded and missing, the Army of Northern Virginia would have difficulty in recovering that loss of manpower. Many of the wounded would eventually return but the over 1500 dead would not. Add to this the loss of one of Lee's ablest generals in the form of Stonewall Jackson, the damage was tremendous and irreparable. One other fact to point out is that the Battle of Gettysburg was exactly 2 months away and one can only wonder "what if" Chancellorsville had not occurred.
