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.
Peyton Manning's New NFL Team
-
If I had to put money on a bet on this subject, I would go with one of three teams, 49ers, Miami or Broncos. These three teams have good teams, but are missing a QB.
-
R-A-I-D-E-R-S!
-
The teams I have heard have been Miami, NY Jets, Arizona, Washington and Seattle.
Allot depends on where Manning would like to go, since he is a free agent.
49ers? Â I hadn’t heard that one.
Alex Smith played well enough for him to keep his starting position.You want another team similiar to that thought (needing only a QB to get to the next level); a team that is close to winning a Super Bowl? Â That would be Baltimore. Â Picture the irony.
-
I think Arizona ( Kurt Warner comes to mind) will get him.
But the Raiders should get him, since they used to love bringing back old retreads in order to sell tickets.
Should have traded him for draft pics.

What do you mean USED to? It’s practically in the official playbook.
Besides, calling next year Manning’s “Season of Revenge” would be so awesome… and the raiders might actually have a chance of going to the bowl!
But I don’t think Oakalnd is even in the running :S. Fortunately however - they were listed on the poll as a potential, so I voted for my dreams :) Thank you for that oppurtunity Worsham!
-
Favre could stand in as a BACK UP!
-
the broncos a good team?
ha ha ha!
now that’s really funny! -

You can never count the Raiders out on anything.

Al Davis was the guy who loves to bring in people who retire or are well past their prime and repackage them into critical roles on the cheap… because he is one of the most cheapest owners who ever lived. He was the Donald Sterling of Football. I hope his son does not fall in that trap.
-

ha ha ha!
now that’s really funny!They made it to the second round of the playoffs, and that was with a 1930 era QB!

Houston
-
Dolphins
-
The most recent inside reporting has that Arizona, Denver and Miami as the teams Manning is choosing from.
-
Add Titans to the list… Man, I just wish he could get into a team with good receivers. My fantasy team would be complete.
GG
-
LOL @ The Dolphins…
-
My Texans could use Payton for a couple of seasons, and help win it all while Arian Foster is still young.
-
I belive he will go to Denver. Manning has respect for John Elway, more than the bunch of business suits that run Miami. Denver has cap space to sign Dallas Clark, and if needed, more ‘Manning guys.’
I think he will give Tennessee the respectful visit out of his love for the state and it’s history.

You giving up on Matt Schaub? It’s my thoughts that if he wasn’t injuried, Houston wins their first Championship last season.

Not giving up on him, just want him to spend some time as second string until he is 100%.

Hear Titans are offering Manning a contract for life.
