The Battle of Chancellorsville: April 30th – May 6th 1863 The American Civil War Mr. Contipodero

The Basics: Union Army of the Potomac = 133,868 Commander: Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker 17,197 Casualties Disastrous battle for the Union!

The Basics: Confederacy Army of Northern Virginia 60,892 Commander: Gen. Robert E. Lee 13,303 casualties “Lee’s Greatest Victory”

How It Began… Hooker took over as Commander of the Army of the Potomac Increased morale … “Fighting Joe Hooker!” Hooker left sizable army at Fredericksburg to fight Lee Other Union forces converged west Cavalry went forward to Richmond

Meet at Chancellorsville The Cavalry had failed Hooker was left with no alerts of Lee’s movements Troops in the wilderness at Chancellorsville

Strategy 115,000 (Union) vs. 60,000 (Confederate) Lee divided Army Hooker thought Lee would retreat Lee divided Army One part to defend Fredericksburg Another to deal with Hooker

Lee’s “Right Arm”…Gone! “Stonewall” Jackson marched the bulk of the army west Exposed the right flank of the Federals Dangerous march Routed the Federals while at camp Jackson was accidently shot by one of his men Jackson died 8 days later

More Warfare General J.E.B. Stuart took over for Jackson Federal troops broke through at Fredericksburg Lee refocused attention to Fredericksburg – driving the Union back
