Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.

Yep. I also think “smooth” depending on the context or sometimes “funky.”

I might even go out on a limb and call it psychedelic.

BTW - What does “mrgreen” refer too??
I just don’t get it. -
Mr. Green was in a rock band if I remember correctly.

It might be Al Green.
But I’m not sure.

Yeah, would like to hear something about :-P :-P :-P also…
It says just “tongue”, when I hover the mousepointer over it.
I it some variant of “confused” or “uncertain” or “wavering” or something like that?
Please remember that I am a stupid foreigner and I need an explanation a child could understand :mrgreen:

It’s more a tease thing. Like sticking your tongue out at someone. Or kinda a slight disgust, in another sense.

Ha ha ha! Then i’ve used it totally incorrectly on a number of occassions :-)

Switch that is I think what Jermo and I are saying about the :mrgreen: Just hipper or better than 8)
Usually the tongue is a kinda of razz (what a couple of other boards I use call it) or like Jermo said a tease thing. I don’t use it much cause I always think of it as being a smartass while being too self-aware that you are being a smartass.

But of course, there are no women on the internet. :oops:
