At the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, General Lee gave General Jackson 21,5000 troops. Jackson's mission was to gain a tactical position that would allow the Confederates to attack the left flank of General Hooker's Army of the Potomac. It was a risky maneuver that involved a sizable portion of Lee's army. It turned out to be a successful maneuver for the Rebels.
