Meade didn't put up a counter attack once The ANV came off of the field.
Again he gave the Union what it needed (not a loss) plus he won a victory that the then present (including the South) and history has recognized as a victory. A counter attack was not prudent nor necessary. Gettysburg may not have been the end of the Civil War, but it was a big part and was the first step to the end of the ANV.
