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.

I love faulty Towers i got them on DVD. Some of the best episodes of all time.
What about the one where they try not to remind the Germans about the war.

This is Derrick Comedy and they are really talented, I just saw them and their 90 minute movie at the Music Box in Chicago last night.
Watch all their videos and see their movie if it comes to some place near you or buy the dvd coming out later next year. -

Yeah, I can’t stand Olive Garden. I left them a nasty comment the one time I ate there telling them that their chicken parmigiana tasted like Chicken McNuggets with Chef Boyardee sauce.
