I've read that Chancellorsville was Robert E. Lee's and the Army of Northern Virginia crowning victory? I question this. Let's take a good look at Fredericksburg. The performance of the entire Army of Northern Virginia never shined so bright. All commanders were present, all performed splendidly. Stuart, Jackson, Longstreet and Alexander worked as a combined cohesive machine that all but destroyed the AOP. I wonder if any of you feel the same and if not why? I would love to learn your opinions. What makes Chancellorsville a more impressive victory than Fredericksburg? Which battle was really Lee's crowning achievement.
