A. False

Explanation

The statement "The Union was heavily outnumbered at Chancellorsville" is false. At the Battle of Chancellorsville during the American Civil War, the Union Army, commanded by General Joseph Hooker, actually had the numerical advantage over the Confederate Army, led by General Robert E. 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.
