Question

select the correct answer.
what was the effect of the battle of chancellorsville on the confederate army?
a. they lost all control over transportation on the mississippi river.
b. they gained the necessary resources to unleash total war in the north.
c. they gained the confidence to attempt a second invasion of the north.
d. a union victory destroyed their desire to wage war.

Explanation:

The Battle of Chancellorsville was a significant Confederate victory. It boosted their morale and confidence. After this win, the Confederate army, led by General Robert E. Lee, felt more confident. This confidence led them to attempt a second invasion of the North. Option A is incorrect as the Battle of Vicksburg (not Chancellorsville) was related to control of the Mississippi River. Option B is wrong because total war (a strategy used later by Sherman) was not enabled by resources from this battle. Option D is incorrect as it was a Confederate victory, not a Union one.

Answer:

C. They gained the confidence to attempt a second invasion of the North.
