What was the greatest loss suffered by the confederate army at the battle of Chancellorsville?

The greatest loss suffered by the Confederate Army at the Battle of Chancellorsville was the death of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. His mortal wounding by friendly fire on May 2, 1863, severely impacted the Confederate leadership and morale. Jackson was one of General Robert E. Lee's most trusted and effective commanders, and his absence in subsequent battles diminished the army's effectiveness. The battle itself was a tactical victory for the Confederates, but Jackson's loss marked a significant strategic blow.
