Specifically, Lee, after taking responsibility for the defeat, rode through the lines and admitted guilt to his men. It appears that most responded very favorably to him. Yes, he was trying to boost morale for the counter attack he believed Meade was going to launch, but still.
The confidence given to him by his soldiers is nothing short of extraordinary. Here they suffered their most crushing loss, a complete disaster, and they remained loyal, perhaps even more so than before. Was it the nobility/gallantry he exuded?
Finally, how great of an effect was the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg to overall morale of the ANV? Would appreciate your opinions.
