“My plans are perfect, And when I start to Cany them out, may God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for | shall have none.” Why, aside from propensity for nareissism, was Hooker so confident? Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lee's army. He had discerned, for example, that Lee had only 61,000 men to Hooker's own 134,000. Buoved by his superior numbers, Hooker coverly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves behind Lee's army. In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate soldiers in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lee's ‘only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus assuring a Union victory. Yet Les, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat: Instead, he moved his troops into position to attack. Union soldiers who tried’ to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive were dismissed as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but to retreat, Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lee's army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating supper. completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lee's troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn, Against all odds, Lee won the Battle of Chancellorsville, and Hooker's forces withdrew in defeat.
