"The Rebel army is now the legitimate property of the Army of the Potomac." Union General Joseph Hooker 

Spoken just shortly before he was soundly defeated by Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia at Chancellorsville, while Lee was outnumbered more that two to one…(pride comes before a fall) 

Hooker was not the first pompous braggart Lee defeated...however a lack of supplies and manpower eventually took it's toll...
