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.
MOVIE'S 2014

-
The Grand Budapest Hotel is definitely my most anticipated Spring Movie.
-

SOB!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! (LOL)
-
Okay, so…
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Guardians of the Galaxy
and this: Godzilla
-
That Godzilla movie looks pretty dang good.
-
-
He also looks quite a bit larger than the original or later versions of Godzilla.
edit: much bigger than the 350 ft tall claimed on Wikipedia.
-
I really liked the idea that the A-bomb tests weren’t tests but attempts to kill Godzilla. It looks far superior to Pacific Rim. Actually looks like a whole feature of what I wanted the first half hour of Pacific Rim to be.
-
This looks great! Must see.
-
Looks like MALCOMS Dad is dealing with Godzilla this time and not Matthew Broderick, (pfeuww)
I think we got a chance to see something decent here then… :-) -

I think we got a chance to see something decent here then… :-)At least they seem to know what the hell Godzilla is supposed to look like. They aren’t giving us that stupid igaunazilla/velociraptor/we’ve no idea who Godzilla is thing, so, we’re already getting something miles better than that movie.

Can’t wait, my father and I are Godzilla fans.

Guys,
––“Godzilla”,…I’m not really a sci-fi fan, but this looks like a QUALITY production so I will definately go see it.

Ok i watched Stalingrad in 3D. It is basically: Enemy at the gates: Part Deux.
I really want them to show the strategic purpose of the campaign with lots of scenes of how and why they fought. We we got was another version of 300 except with MP-40’s and bald Germans talking about going to India once the battle was over. Effects were good but that won’t carry the movie.
If they made it like Tora, Tora, Tora it would have been fantastic. Of course, another freaking love story transpired.

@Young:
@Uncrustable:
THE LEGO MOVIE……
IS AWESOME!!!Cant wait to see it, but I will.
Everything is awesome….
Liked the Star Wars quick cameo. There’s so much going on, need to watch it more than once to see it all.

Will the next 300 be worth a theater ticket?
