What physical injury to Union General Joseph Hooker damaged his chance to win the Battle of Chancellorsville?
Union General Joseph Hooker suffered an injury that was costly for the Union. Problems for Union General Joseph Hooker began on May 3, 1863. Forces under the command of General JEB Stuart, who had replaced the fallen Stonewall Jackson, advanced towards Hooker's troop concentration at Chancellorsville. Hooker decided to consolidate the battle line held by Union General Sickle's 3rd Corps. This forced Hooker to make a grave mistake. He withdrew troops and artillery from the high ground at Hazel Grove. The Confederates immediately replaced the federals there and Rebel artillery had a clear shot at Union positions. One such cannon shot injured General Hooker. The blast from a cannon knocked him unconscious. A Confederate shell had hit his headquarters. His injury caused General Darius Couch to take command. His appeal to Sickle's for reinforcements went unheeded. This caused Hooker's combat line to crumble under Confederate assaults.
Who was General Joseph Hooker replaced with when he resigned?
