The US Civil War Battle of Chancellorsville was a huge victory for the Confederacy under General Robert E. Lee. He beat the leader of the Army of the Potomac, John Hooker. Lee lost his best general when Stonewall Jackson was killed. Because of his victory at Chancellorsville, Lee decided to push forward to Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Hooker was replaced by George Meade.
Confederate General Stonewall Jackson was accidentally shot at night, by his own soldiers, and died from his wounds some time later.

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.
It was Lee's most brilliant display of tactical genius, completely wrong-footing the otherwise-successful Union commander Hooker. But it cost him his loyal subordinate Stonewall Jackson, fatally wounded in this battle, and some say this would cost him victory at the forthcoming Gettysburg conflict.
It's the song "Some Nights", by fun.. Features two soldiers on opposite sides of the Civil War, preparing for battle.
