Which battle was considered the union's worst defeat the civil war?

The answer to this question depends on how worst is defined. If worst is based on number of Union casualties and long term impact, it would be the Battle of Chancellorsville, which took place in Virginia between May 1 and May 4, 1863. The Union's casualties at the Battle of Chancellorsville exceeded those of the Confederacy by more than 4,000, 17,278 to 12,821. Union casualties during the four-day battle were the most of all other battles of the Civil War with the exception of Gettysburg and Spotsylvania. It was second only to the Seven Days battle for the most combatants of all Civil War battles with 195,000 total combatants. Considered General Robert E. Lee's greatest victory of the war, the Battle of Chancellorsville was a decisive victory for the Confederacy and a bitter and unexpected failure for the Union army resulting in the removal of General Joe Hooker of command of the Union Army by President Lincoln.

Was the battle of fredricksburg in the west?

No. Fredericksburg, Virginia is almost exactly halfway between Washington, D. C. and Richmond, Virginia. Those two capitals of the warring sections were one hundred miles apart, with Fredericksburg at the midpoint of a line drawn straight between them on a map. Because of this location a lot of the war in the east took place in and around Fredericksburg. The Battles of Chancellorsville (May 1863) and The Wilderness (May 1864) were a few miles west of town, mostly, but there was fighting in Fredericksburg both times.


Where was the battles of chancellorsville and fredericksburg located?

Fredericksburg is a town in Virginia almost exactly halfway between Washington DC and Richmond Virginia, which were the northern and southern capitals. Its fifty miles south of Washington and fifty miles north of Richmond. The Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862 was fought in the town, which is on the south bank of the Rapahannock River, and on the hills just to the south of the town. Chancellorsville is ten miles west of Fredericksburg, up the River, When the Battle was fought there in May 1863 Chancellorsville was really only a single big house and its outbuildings, belonging to the Chancellor family. There was another Battle, called "The Wilderness" on the identical ground at Chancellorsville almost exactly one year later, in May 1864. The area was called The Wilderness because all the original old growth mature virgin timber had been cut down and burned to make charcoal, and very dense scrub underbrush had grown back in its place. It was very hard to see more than a few yards in this tangle of saplings, vines and sticker bushes. During the 1864 Battle of The Wilderness there were skulls all over the ground from poorly buried or unburied men killed one year earlier, and in both Chancellorsville and The Wilderness the woods caught fire and wounded men who could not drag themselves away screamed as they were burned slowly to death.

Where did the Battle of Chancellorsville take place?

The Battle of Chancellorsville was fought at the crossroads of the Orange Turnpike and Ely's Ford Road and the area around there,about ten miles west of Fredricksburg. It is in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The name Chancellorsville is misleading, as there was no town there. It was actually an inn and tavern built by a George Chancellor, and it was a private residence at the time of the battle.
