There are many answers to this question but perhaps the most logical answer is that it ended the ability of the Confederate Army of Northern Virgina to sustain offensive actions. From Gettysburg until the end of the war, Lee's army operated primarily from a defensive rather that offensive posture. Lee's army could not exist in the field and sustain casualties of the magnitude inflicted upon it at Gettysburg. Soon after Gettysburg, and as a result of his failure to follow the Confederate retreat, the Federal commander George Gordon Meade was replaced by Ulysses S. Grant. To be sure, Grant made many mistakes, but his style was to fight not finesse.
