Actually the name Chancellorsville is a misnomer. It was actually built by a George Chancellor at the intersection of the Orange Turnpike and Ely's Ford Road and its purpose was a tavern and inn for travellers. It never grew to become a town. It was still owned by members of the Chancellor family at the time of the battle. It is about ten miles from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Source: Chancellorsville, Sears, Steven W. 1997, p.97

This question has a "when" and a "where" making it two separate questions. I hesitate to try and "splite it" So I will answer each. The Battle of Chancellorsville was in May of 1863. Confederate General Lee launched a surprise attack on Union forces in eastern Virginia. The Chancellorsville lay between the Confederate capitol of Richmond and Washington DC. Lee won by driving the Union forces back across the Rappahannock River. It was a costley victory as Southern General Stonewall Jackson was killed in the conflict. Civil War historians regard the battle as the most masterfull battle by Lee in the War.
