What are the US Civil War highlights of Union General Joseph Hooker?
Each of the US Civil War commanders were part of the most significant event in US History with thr exprion of the American Revolutionary War. General Joseph Hooker had the double distinction of being appointed in charge of the Army of the Potomac and later losing that position. And he was not alone on that count. Perhaps the highlight of his career was in defeat. And I say that with no disgrace to General Hooker.Robert E. Lee beat him at Chancellorsville, often cited as one of Lee's best victories. With that said, the career of General Hooker was unique. He was commended for his efforts in the Second Seminole and Mexican wars. He resigned his commission in 1853. At the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his services to the union, and despite his excellent combat record was snubbed by General Winfried Scott. Reportedly because of his testimony years earlier that were not favorable to Scott. After the embarrassing Union defeat at the First Bull Run, US President granted him an interview and was impressed. And not long later was made a brigdier general of volunteers. Hooker handled himself well in important campaigns that followed including the Peninsula campaign and at Antietam. As an aside, but an important one, many readers do not know that there was enough support in Congress and among certain military commanders that a dictator should be appointed to run the Union's war efforts. Leaving to Lincoln domestic duties. Lincoln certainly had to be aware of these rumors and General Hooker was a quiet supporter of this. Yet he followed General Burnside as the commander of the Army of the Potomac. Hooker's defeat by Lee, already mentioned earlier placed Hooker in an embarrassing position but he carried on. Hooker's commanding career continued, however, the highlight of Chancellorsville is most remembered. He fought in the West, and later finished the war as the Head of the Northern Department. He was also the victim of personal attacks, including drunkenness and partying.
