When Stuart finally showed up at Gettysburg, Lee said “Well, General, you are here at last.” It was a rebuke, and it was so understood by Stuart.

Things may have been different if Stonewall Jackson had been there. Lee relied on him quite a bit.

Of course freed slave descendants have ruined everything they run down here

It’s a mixed bag
