Answer:

Thomas Stonewall Jackson

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Chancellorsville (April 30- May 6, 1863) is remembered as one of the victories of the Confederate States during the Civil War because although the Federal army outnumbered the Confederate's troops, General Robert E. Lee managed to successfully strike with a surprise attack made by Thomas Stonewall Jackson to the Union forces, whom was wounded by mistake and died the following day.
