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.
A weekend at Most Holy's place…
-
:lol: :lol:
-
For any of you who’ve met Most Holy, I’m sure you’ll see the resemblance.
I’ve never met him, so you’ll have to specify if the resemblance you mention refers to the guy on the left or the bear on the right.
-
I’m not buying it, this guy and the bear are to clean cut to be Most Holy.
-
I will make it to Most Holy’s at least one weekend this year,I think it would be worth the 3 hour road trip to party and play A&A with these guys
Gee, with a name like Most Holy you would think he was an ArchBishop or Cardinal….something.
See ya and have fun
