Your series illustrates what I call the Historian's Dictum: Things are hard to predict - especially the past. (This is a variation on Yogi Berra's great statement about prediction.)

Imagine how much more devastation Jackson could have wreaked on Hooker's army if Jackson had just a few more hours of daylight....

So R E Lee with no Longstreet Picket or Hood has the 2nd Corp and McClaws , manages to hold 1 part of the Army of the Potomac confront and flank the other larger part and on the 2nd day with a calvary General in charge of the larger part of his infantry rolls them up and throws them outta Chansolorsville... Interesting 🤔

The site of Jackson's famous surprise attack on the 145ny and the 44th NY, the 11 Corps XI is forced to a fall back not so much like God's and generals, the XI falls back to a position, interesting!

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

So it's was not such a surprise but it was a neglected intelligence? As the attack came! Then a series of grey and butternut emerge from the woods and hills w a rebel yell! YEEEEAEer hea!

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

Gen George Gordon Meade was a great general the 5th corps was in the battle, and the 3rd regroup to steem the confederates rebels?

[@Fixingtodraw]

Wow the union leader was suicidal. Those poor soldiers

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

Oliver Otis Howard the XI corps the 🌛

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

Some 11th corps were threatened by swords and pistols, csa some are captured... In the attack, 72,000 federals are fed up with the salient, and battle continues the next day!! Interesting 26 wis inf Not all the XI ran for their lives 58 ny Inf, 62 il Inf retreat stop to fight w the third III Corps.

[@OldePete]

Jackson's brilliance or 11th Cops command: Xenophobic to a fault? It's almost as if the 11th was posted on the flank to act as a buffer/expendable/"cannon fodder" for the rest of the army.

Major General Joseph Hooker, Major General Oliver Howard, and Captain Hubert “Leatherbritches” Dilger, the Union Champions of Chancellorsville, who were supposedly defeated there, went on to a very illustrious military career after that battle. About a year later, at Pine Mountain, Georgia on June 14, 1874 all three played a part in the killing of the “The Bishop” General Polk. General Sherman himself was down below and spotted the group of Rebel officers, Johnston, Hardee and Polk. "How saucy they are!" General Howard remembered Sherman saying. Sherman ordered nearby batteries to open fire. A Prussian soldier nicknamed "Leatherbritches" Dilger fired his 12-pounder cannon, killing Bishop Polk as he stood on the crest of the mountain. Interesting note is that Dilger received the Medal of Honor for his performance at Chancellorsville that caused another delay for Stonewall Jackson. Jackson was already running late because of his late start from oversleeping that day in May 1963 according to my friends at the Trust.
