Best Answer

Lee lost over 12,000 men killed, wounded, or captured, while Major General Joe Hooker lost over 17,000 men from the Army of the Potomac.

The most prominent loss to Lee was the wounding of Major General Thomas J. Jackson. Jackson was wounded on the evening of May 2 while he reconnoitered the Federal position's. He was shot by his own soldiers, men from a North Carolina infantry regiment who mistook Jacksons party as a Federal Cavalry unit. His left arm was amputated and a Minnie Ball was removed from his right hand. Although his wounds were not life threatening and were healing, on the afternoon of May 10, 1863, "Stonewall Jackson" would succumb to pneumonia. The loss of Jackson and the soldiers lost in the battle would indeed make Lee's Masterpiece a hollow victory.

Stonewall Jackson, mortally wounded by his own men - whether deliberately is still debated to this day.

Jackson was accidentally shot by an over eager NC regiment, who had been told Yankee cavalry were in the area that night. It's doubtful anyone on the Confederate side wanted him dead.
T.J. 'Stonewall' Jackson - mortally wounded by his own men, probably by accident, though the conspiracy theories have never gone away.
