Why was the battle of chancellorsville important?

Answer 1

After the two victories, in particular that of Chancellorsville, Lee was inclined to put in motion the plan for the invasion of Pennsylvania, which was abandoned after the Battle of Antietam.

But the sudden plunge of the events on the front of the Mississippi, many Confederate military leaders wondered if the project of an attack in Pennsylvania was the wiser.

Among them was General Longstreet, who after Jackson's death was the most influential and the most skilled among Lee's lieutenants.

He was of the opinion that it would have to attack in Tennessee against General Rosecrans. For this purpose he proposed to concentrate not only the few troops

that Johnston had at Jackson, Mississippi, but also the entire I Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. This could have been implemented exploiting the favorable location of railway lines. By so doing it would have been concentrated against Rosecrans about 100.000 men of which Lee would take command. Meanwhile Vicksburg would have been able to resist for a while and a strictly defensive should have been held on the Virginian Front

The attack in Tennessee would have broken through the center of the enemy front, isolating their wings ( deployed in Virginia and Vicksburg ) compelling the Union to draw Grant from Vicksburg to plug the leak.

The idea was submitted to the judgment of Lee and the Confederate High Command and Government, which ruled that the offensive had to be set off on the front of Virginia, because it was believed that a great victory won there would have not only given a mortal blow to the North, but also obtained for the federal recognition of France and Great Britain.
