Lee. Despite this, Lee's strategic brilliance and audacity allowed him to achieve a decisive victory over the Union forces, demonstrating that numerical superiority does not always guarantee success in warfare.

Chancellorsville was the site of a major battle in 1863, but it did not result in Lee's surrender.
