I suppose this belongs here - since Hampton fought exclusively in the East.

This is not sourced that I can see, which makes discovering what this statement is refering to troublesome:

Nonetheless, Hampton's military career may have suffered as a result of an incident with General Robert E. Lee over troop assignments. After Hampton complained, Lee, who had a notorious temper, is reported to have said to Hampton that he didn't care if his whole legion went back to South Carolina.

I am unaware of anything that this could possibly be refering to. Could someone more familiar with the OR or Hampton explain it?
