What did general lee might have said before and after the battle of gettyburg?

General Lee before the Battle of Gettysburg could have something like:

"One more battle and we'll take Washington. This will end this war and guarantee our freedom." 

"One more battle to humiliate the Yankee forces. This will be easy."

General Lee after the Battle of Gettysburg could have said something like:

"That did not go as planned. If only I had had Stonewall Jackson with me."

"How did it all go wrong? We were supposed to win."

"We must regroup quickly so they do not take advantage of our situation." 

i'm not sure i understand what you are trying to ask, if you give more information, that would be most .

c) legal battles last five weeks after the election due to the narrow victory in several states.
