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.
In 'n Out vs. Other

What are your thoughts on In 'n Out?
-
Never tried it. I didn’t vote for the loaded third option. McDonald’s is my favorite fast food, and Pizza hut is my favorite restaurant overall
-
Chipotle, Chick-fil-a, Taco Bell, Penn Station

Never had In 'n Out. I’ve hear it’s good, but there aren’t any around me. I’m a McDonalds man myself

In 'n Out is by far my favorite fast food restaraunt. You can’t beat a double-double animal style.
de la Rey, what language is your signature?

de la Rey, what language is your signature?
It’s Afrikaans. This is what it says:
We will continue to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our empire, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the ground, we will fight in the field and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender, even though, I never for a moment think it Island or a large part of it was conquered and hungry, our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would continue the struggle until in God’s good times, the New World with all his power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old. -

Oh, okay. I assume de la Rey is from South Africa (considering the Afrikaans and General de la Rey, the Boer general).
