The Army of Northern Virginia, the principal military force of the Confederate States in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War, had varied troop strength throughout its existence. At its peak during the Civil War, it numbered around 100,000 soldiers, particularly during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. However, its strength fluctuated due to battles, casualties, and recruitment, often ranging between 30,000 to 75,000 in the later stages of the war.
Using round numbers, the Army of Northern Virginia, under Lee, brought an army of 75,000 men into the Battle of Gettysburg. The Army of the Potomac, under Meade, brought 93,500 men into the battle. This was the largest battle in the US Civil War and the fighting lasted three days.
Although Robert E. lee's Army of Northern Virginia lost almost one third of its fighting force to casualties, Lee's retreat back to Virginia allowed him to refurbish the army's losses.New recruits volunteered in the aftermath of the battle and conscription added to Lee's army's manpower. Although the North had more resources to rebuild the Army of the Potomac, it was Lee's army that proportionately gained more strength. Also, Lee was able to resupply his army and it grew in size to 80,000 troops. His men were judged to be in better physical shape than the Army of the Potomac.The aftermath increased the odds to three to two in favor of the Union's previously much larger ratio vs the Souths.
