What was the importance of Battle of Chancellorsville?
For the Union, it was a terrible defeat, and a humiliation for General Joseph Hooker, who had raised high hopes of being able to expel Lee from Virginia. For the Confederates, it was a triumphant win that gave Lee the confidence to plan his invasion of Pennsylvania. In retrospect, Chancellorsville arguably benefited the Union. Lee's essential team-partner Stonewall Jackson had been killed. Hooker was replaced by the more successful George Meade. And Lee's confidence proved to be misplaced, his next battle, Gettysburg, ending as a devastating defeat.
