The Battle of Gettysburg was effectively over when Slocum's Twelfth Corps successfully counter-attacked against the men of Richard Ewell's Corps on the morning of July 3. The Union men pushed Ewell's men off the ground they had taken the evening before.
Pickett's Charge, from a strategic and operational perspective, was anti-climatic.

quote:More accurately, Longstreet’s Assault (it was his Corps that made up the majority of the forces - Pickett was only one division commander who participated). However, I absolutely agree with your assertion. Once they had failed the day previous to flank the left side of the Union line (Devil’s Den, Little Round Top et al) the overall battle had been lost. He would have been better served to maneuver to his right and try to superimpose himself between Meade and DC. Played to the Union political powers rather than winning a tactical fight.
