Battle of Chancellorsville Rages as Lee Presses Union Line

Guerrilla and infantry clashes along the Rappahannock and Fredericksburg corridors intensify. Union commander Hooker reorganizes reserves, repels several rebel thrusts, and faces a collapsing right flank as Jackson's corps drives forward with support from P.B.F.leg and others. The night battles hinge on artillery exchanges and rapid maneuvers to hold the line near Chancellorville and the Fredericksburg turnpike.
