Synopsis
The Northern forces were stymied by the efforts of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, who continued to win battles despite being outnumbered by their enemy. In America's Civil War: 1862 -- Chancellorsville, Rebel Victory, Rebel Loss, an account is given of the defeat at Chancellorsville of Joseph Hooker, whose massive army of 100,000 could not overcome the Rebel forces. The victory was tempered by the death of Jackson at a critical juncture in the war. The Confederate Army had relied on Jackson's leadership, and now faced the upcoming Gettysburg conflict without his help. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
