The Battle of Chancellorsville was a significant conflict during the American Civil War, fought from April 30 to May 6, 1863. It took place in Virginia and involved the Union Army, led by General Joseph Hooker, against the Confederate Army, commanded by General Robert E. Lee. Despite being outnumbered, Lee's forces achieved a surprising victory through bold tactics and clever maneuvers. One of the most notable aspects of the battle was the daring flanking attack by Lee's troops, which caught the Union forces off guard. Unfortunately, the battle also resulted in the death of General Stonewall Jackson, one of Lee's most trusted commanders, which was a significant loss for the Confederacy.
