To fight at Salem Church, Lee divided his army at Chancellorsville (43,000 men) in the face of Hooker's main force - more than 80,000 men. The gamble worked. Lee defeated the Federals here at Salem Church, then returned to Chancellorsville to confront Hooker's main force again. Hooker retreated on May 6.
