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.
Greatest Religion Ever . . .

The Aussies already stated it for their last census. That was fun, with the officals saying it would be illegal to mark Jedi as your religion, and still 70,000 people marking it.
Have a look at:

That’s pretty good, In the military they reissue dogtags periodicaly. I started along time ago to change my religious preference on my dog tags.
I have:
NO REL PREF - My first set
CATHOLIC - Had the longest service in Basic Training so I changed
BAPTIST - I got bored
MORMON - Begining to get creative
NON DENOM - I asked for SHEITE I guess that was too creative
MUSLIM - Simplified it and it workedI will be getting a new set soon I will have to see if I can get JEDI
