Hooker's Logical Decisions

Abstract

This paper discusses the myths associated with General Joseph Hooker during the Chancellorsville campaign and his decision making process during his most criticized moments throughout. While Hooker made many controversial decisions during the Chancellorsville campaign, this analysis will discuss three of the more important decisions he made: Pulling his forces back to Chancellorsville; response to General Jacksons flank attack; and withdrawing from Hazel Grove, demonstrating the logic in his decisions and the variables that influenced them.
