Major psychological blow to the Confederates - and to Lee himself, whose health started to fail at this time.

It was the end of any Confederate hopes of invading the North. They had failed in what was meant to be a foraging and provisioning campaign. They would be barefoot and starving for the rest of the war.

Now he could only take his battered army back to Virginia, where it would be in no state to conduct operations for many months.
