Chancellorsville, Virginia,was the location of a major battle of the American Civil War (May 1862).

The Union army under Hooker looked as though it would defeat the Confederates underLee. But Lee specialised in wrong-footing his enemy, and Hooker was forced to fight in an unfavourable position. This caused him to lose his nerve, and Stonewall Jackson caught him off-guard. The result was a stunning victory for the Confederates, though it cost Stonewall his life.
