Meade's Army of the Potomac blocked the line of retreat and communication of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, forcing Lee to give battle in order to continue his invasion of the North. After three days of hard fighting, unable to break the Union line on the well-defended high ground, Lee was forced to retreat, but Meade was not able to mount a vigorous pursuit that may have cut Lee's forces off from gaining the safety of Virginia, and, possibly, bring about an early end to the war.
