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.
Emperor's lock of hair anyone?
-
A lock of Franz Joseph’s hair has made twenty times what was expected at auction in Vienna(13720 Euros).
The lock belonged to the estate of the Emperor’s valet.
The Emperor ruled from 1848 and died in 1916.As an aside, the BBC has pointed out a lock of Justin Bieber’s hair sold for £25000 on eBay in 2011.
Who the hell is he?
Actually, I do not want, or need, to know. -
I have heard that Justin Bieber gives you Beaver Fever so watch out.
-
He’s a teen heart throb singer (with a girl voice)
I think he’s Canadian, but he’s a teen idol in the USA and no doubt many other countriesWhy do people ask questions like that any more when there’s the internet? Do a search, man!
-
I’d rather die!
-
That’s what you’d say if you listened to one of Justin’s songs.
Man, when I type in “Justin” in Google, the top suggestion is Justin Bieber
-
I thought he was a singer, so I felt no need to go any further into it.
I use the net a lot, but it is principally for historical research.
Not to research children’s poo idols. -

Congratulate me for weaponizing pixels into internet tear gas!

You deserve the Nobel prize for Peace, for inventing the ultimate deterrent to war: that picture. Who would risk war knowing images of that could be flashed before your eyes at any minute?
