Battle of Chancellorsville

The Union army under General Hooker is defeated by Robert E. Lee's forces as a result of Lee's brilliant and daring tactics.
This illustration shows the collapse of the Union Eleventh Corps as a result of Jackson's Flank Attack.
This painting by Don Troiani shows the Confederate attackers coming out of the forest to attack the right flank of the Union XI Corps on May 2, 1863.
This monument, dedicated in 1888, was placed where Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded.
