The Battle of Chancellorsville, fought from April 30 to May 6, 1863, was a significant engagement in the American Civil War. One major event was General Robert E. Lee's bold decision to divide his forces, sending Stonewall Jackson's troops on a flanking maneuver that caught Union forces by surprise. This led to a significant Confederate victory despite being outnumbered. However, the battle also resulted in the mortal wounding of Jackson by friendly fire, which would have lasting implications for the Confederate Army.
