Badly Battered Union Retreats
'Attacking with sudden fury, the South was able to push back the enemy at Chancellorsville, today. General Lee & General Jackson led
their men to an overwhelming victory as they caught the Northern Army off guard. The North's General Hooker believed that the
Confederates were pulling back because they were outnumbered. Despite the fact that the Union had 20,000 more men, the South had the
element of surprise working for them when they struck their death-blow. The fighting was reckless and the Union fought poorly as they
tried to return the atack. The Union found themselves falling back time after time to a new position. It was the Southern Army
which was on the offensive as the Federal soldiers appeared completely helpless.'
