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.

We are not all vampires Noll! Feels like it today though: Maddy usuals sleeps until 7am.
Not today! Always nice to see what you have to say Garg. In case I can wind you up or see some random picture of wildlife(often dead) or some unnecessary Eastern European person. -
00:56 doesn’t mean Vampire :-D

I am sharpening my stake now. Hide my friend. I am on a plane as we speak.

Well my weak point is my wife watching me badly when I log in this forum. So at least when she sleeps I have some time :-D
PS: I should have married Gargantua <3

I had to turn that off Noll. I was worried my customers would walk out! It is sick.
Is man love still frowned upon in Italy, Noll? That is ridiculous. -

I say the kids ask for it.

No comprende, I’m a French Canadian! :p

I’m basically lazy so I let others say the witty remarks that I intend to convey. Only when it’s important to have the perfect thing said do I then feel the need to weigh in……wry grin
-
I am basically an awful typist, so I get annoyed when someone else gets in there first.
Especially when it’s that youngster, Garg! -
Ahh… fame. :)
-
To the cheering crowds
Thank you! Thank you… !

“Garg”,
I would like to vote for ALL OF THE ABOVE.
Sort of a "Always/Never in my back yard,…Senor~"
And I suppose it’s probably better(safer?) to have “Garg” to laugh at rather than trying to get rid of him(Grin)!
“Tall Paul”
