Retreat and Counterattack
"For my part the more I think of that battle, the more annoyed I am that such a great chance should have failed me."
— Gen. George G. Meade, USA
"Our cannon flamed and roared, and the roar of musketry was terrific. The foe halts, wavers, and flies. We, double charging our guns, pour the canister among them."
— "Ben," Pee Dee (S.C.) Artillery, CSA
Forced back but not ready to give up, Gen. John Gibbon's soldiers launched three counterattacks, but each was repulsed. Hopelessness set in. "It was with real pain that I gave the order for the brigade to fall back," reported brigade commander Col. Adrian Root. "The officers and men received it with surprise and grief." Audacious Georgians pursued the Union soldiers into this field but ran headlong into late-arriving Union reinforcements under Gen. David Birney. The Georgians were driven back with substantial losses. Other Confederate counterattacks failed as well.
The fighting south of Fredericksburg left more than 5,000 Union and 4,000 Confederate soldiers dead, wounded, or missing. With its failure here, the Union lost its best chance for victory at Fredericksburg. The Union army fell back across the Rappahannock River and camped for more than four months before a new commander, Gen. Joseph Hooker, dared to cross the river again.

Animal Equality is taking a stand against the deregulation of Brazil's meat industry by exposing the cruel practices occurring within 'backyard' slaughterhouses. Investigators have documented severe animal mistreatment at the time of their slaughter as well as unsanitary environments which present a health hazard.
These images show a future where slaughterhouses are left to regulate themselves under Brazil’s Self-Control Bill. This harmful bill will put nearly 7 billion of Brazil’s farmed animals will be at an even greater risk of cruelty, and public health at risk.

Enos Slaughter was a tough, hard nosed, no-nonsense ballplayer who played most of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals and would go on to manage the team after he retired from the field. He was noted for his hustle and was the first player to run to first base after receiving a walk. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. The Baseball Hall of Famer known simply as "Country" is resting here in the Allensville United Methodist Church Cemetery near Roxboro, North Carolina.
