-
Lee lost about 11,000, dead and wounded.
-
And it appeared that Lee had once again
-
for what, the fourth time now?
-
stopped a Union army invading into Virginia,
-
and that that Union army would probably have to
-
retreat back out of this densely wooded Wilderness,
-
Get up north of the Rappahannock,
-
regroup again, again, again,
-
as the army of the Potomac always had.
-
And yet what happened was, of course,
-
Grant never intended to stop no matter what happened.
-
He had the obvious advantage of manpower.
