Best Answer

During the American Civil War, the Battle of Chancellorsville (fought in early May 1863) was won by the South because of the superior generalship of the forces it employed along with serious flaws in the command-decisions of several Union generals in the opposing force. General Robert E. Lee proved himself (yet again) in this battle to be a daring and decisive military commander, daring to split his forces, several times and to good effect, in the face of an enemy that outnumbered his greatly yet suffered from overly cautious or simply incompetent leadership.
