Battle of Chancellorsville, fought from April 30th to May 6th, 1863 (1862-1867). General Sickles' division covering the retreat. Chancellorsville is regarded as possibly Confederate general Robert E Lee's finest victory. Despite being outnumbered two to one, his army decisively defeated a Union army commanded by Joseph Hooker in the battle.
