Jocko Podcast Civil War Excursion With JD Baker Pt.5: The Last Battle of Stonewall Jackson
The Battle of Chancellorsville raged in Virginia May 2 through 6, 1863. Union General Joseph Hooker failed and gave a decisive victory to the Confederates. However, the victory was not a cheerful one for the South.
