Robert E. Lee - he commanded that army, both before and after Chancellorsville, starting in the Peninsula Campaign, when he replaced the badly-wounded Joe Johnston, and ending with his surrender to U.S. Grant at Appomattox.
Chancellorsville is regarded as his greatest victory - but really it was the triumph of the Lee-Jackson partnership. Jackson was killed at this battle, and neither Lee nor his army was ever the same again. Lee's health seems to have started to fail just at this time (he was not feeling well at the next battle, Gettysburg) and this may have been psychosomatic, as though he realized, on one level, that the glory days were over.
The commander of the Union army at the US Civil War Battle of Chancellorsville was Major General Joseph Hooker. Hooker had an advantage in the number of troops he pitted against the Army of Northern Virginia, however, Hooker lost the battle. He had become the head of the Army of the Potomac when Major General Ambrose Burnside was replaced. Hooker did not last long as the army's commander.
The Commander in Chief of the Confederacy was his President, Jefferson Davis. Robert E. Lee became the commander of the Army of the Northern Virginia in 1862 and General in Chief of the Confederate Army on February 6,1865.
The Battle of Chancellorsville was due to the Union's attempt to defeat the Army of Northern Virginia and ultimately capture Richmond, the South's capitol. Although Union forces outnumbered the Southern forces, Robert E. Lee led his Army of Northern Virginia and defeated the Union army.
