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.
Raptor's history

@Imperious:
They are doing great in game one. not :roll:
It’s like watching a grown father dunk over his 6 year old son and do a celebration dance… I hope Curry and GS sweep them in the final.

The cavs were 8-0 in the playoffs at the start of the series, and we’re dancing circles around the raptors who looked like kids playing men!
and then BOOOM! WTF?!?
IL - What are we going to do!? Build a fire? Sing a couple of songs? Game over man!

I will echo that, but only if the Raps take a second game from them.

The Raps will roll over in game 4, Lebron will insure that along with a real effort from Kevin Love

The only ones rolling over are the refs, in 4 straight quarters of play… Raps have only been to the line twice. Either the refs have an agenda or the Cavs are playing soft in the paint.

Kevin busted out again…
Also that Bismarck guy fouls everybody and Cavs get no calls.
But yes the refs are not granting alot of calls.

perhaps, but that was a block last night, and should go down as the greatest block on James ever even if the ref got the foul call wrong.

Well congratulations to the Raptors for winning it in 6 games, you sure showed me how wrong i was to doubt the power of Derozen and Biyombo. Labron must be too old to singlehandedly win games anymore. Sorry Gargantua for doubting you.
-
Yes… congratulations to the Raptors for being the only team in the East to truly challenge LeBron’s gang both regular season and in the playoffs. Once the Cavs become dismantled after this year’s championship, and James becomes a Laker for his final 2 years, the Raptors will dominate the East for years to come and win their first championship without needing to stack a team around the best player in the league.
-
James will never be a Laker and actually nobody good wants to be a Laker.
