I was shocked at the Confederate victory at Chancellorsville. We preformed so brilliantly at the beginning of this war, and now the South is making a fool of the North. What has happened to the powerful Union? And what of this battle? Was General Hooker overconfident? Were our soldiers tired? We must not underestimate the South again and crush them into dust. Hopefully this defeat was enough to remind our boys of what they are fighting for and to renew their fervor. The Union must prevail!

It is my personal belief that the leadership of our army was a major factor in what went so wrong. The change in command will surely lead us to victory!
