09. Armistead needed something to hit Early with instead of his delicate hands.

08. Armistead had aimed for Braxton Bragg but Early was pushed in front of him. It is unclear who pushed him but everybody blamed Pemberton.

OK time to put this out 0f its misery. Thanks , dgfred and GELongstreet. I will take it home from here

07 Hooker told him to
06 it was an engineering experiment regarding military issue crockery
05 there was a fly on Jubal's head (my grandma always said. "no matter how you dress it up, you can't fool a fly")
04 it was Jubal, so, why not
03 Lo had wearied of Jubal's profanity
02 it was retribution for the increased scrutiny Jubal's antics had brought upon Benny Havens
01 Lo had misinterpreted a remark Jubal made in French believing he had said, "your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"
