Chancellorsville: Driving Tour

From April 30-May 6, 1863, the Battle of Chancellorsville raged in the area called the Wilderness. For Confederates, this victory provided a distraction from a crumbling home front and hope that Northern support for the war would falter. What were the consequences of the Battle of Chancellorsville? This tour follows the route indicted by the numbered stops on the circular battlefield tour signs on the park map and out in the landscape, including shared public roads that move at high speeds. Drive carefully.
