Lee retreated across the Potomac, and was never able to mount another invasion of Northern soil. However, he was able to continue the war by fighting a series of spoiling offensives to keep the Army of the Potomac at bay for nearly two more years. In a sense, all of Lee's victories were Pyrrhic victories, because he was not able to replace his losses, even more so following Gettysburg, the bloodiest battle of the war.
