∙ 9y agoThe Battle of Chancellorsville is often cited as the greatest victory for Confederate General Robert E. Lee. In May of 1863, Lee launched a surprise attack on Union troops by dividing his army in a three pronged attack. Lee and Confederate Davis saw the great possibilities and the risks of following a Napoleonic style of dividing and even subdividing forces and exposing the flanks of the Army of Northern Virginia. The result was a brilliant flanking effort of the Union army which drove the enemy back across the crucial river of the Rappahannock. The major loss in this victory for the South was the death of General Stonewall Jackson. Wounded in battle by friendly fire he eventually died from his wounds. Jackson had been a great and victorious leader especially in his fighting tactics in the Shenandoah Valley early on in the war.

∙ 9y agoThe Battle of Chancellorsville is often cited as Confederate General Robert E. Lee's greatest victory over the Union during the US Civil War. In May of 1863, Lee launched a surprise three pronged attack on Union troops in eastern Virginia. He drove Union forces back across the Rappahannock River.
With divided troops Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis attacked and achieved the tactical advantage in the Napoleonic fashion by taking calculated risks of dividing and even subdividing armies thus exposing the Army of Northern Virginia's flanks. The risk worked and the South achieved the brilliant flanking of the Union forces.
The victory was costly for the South. By friendly fire the brilliant General Stonewall Jackson eventually died from his wounds. He, in a short period of time made himself a wonderful and victorious general. He was now lost to the Southern cause.
