The last event of the battle was the massive assault by General Longstreet's Corps lead by General Pickett that started at 3:00PM. As the stragglers from the failed attack began filtering back to Seminary Ridge, the shadows were lengthening. There could have been time for the Union to strike a blow before the sun went down but it is difficult to get an entire army to switch from a defensive posture and start an offensive attack. On July 4, General Lee ordered General Imboden's fresh troops to provide a rear-guard protection as they began their retreat.
