I think the battle is significant because the South loses one of their best generals in Stonewall Jackson and there was never a cavalry general like him. Another reason is that Lee believed he had the possibility of gaining a possible truce and the South could keep their way of life. By winning at Chancellorsville, Lee believed he was ready to head north and caused the North to think about a truce not only because the South had them at a standstill but that the South would be recognized by England as an independent nation giving them the credibility and a valuable ally against a divided US which could be a decisive force tobring the North to their knees .

Other then the fact that it was another Union disaster, Chancellorsville's only real significance in the Civil War was the fact that it was during this battle that Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was wounded by his own men and lost his left arm. He would then contract pneumonia as a result of the operation and died shortly after the battle.
