It marked the end of the Battle of Gettysburg - the failure of Lee's second and last attempt to invade the North, and a big psychological blow to the Confederates, with signs of disagreement between Lee and his faithful second-in-command James Longstreet.

Lee would be kept on the defensive from then on, never again able to execute his famous bold aggressive thrusts, and his health starting to fail too.
