You are so right about Pickett's Charge. Pickett's Charge wasn't the great defeat that many set it out to be. The ANV (Army of Northern Virginia) didn't collapse after the charge, there was no great rout or disaster after. The AVN left the field in an ordered march. Hood's army is the only major Confederate army to run away from battle.

Just what did Hood run away from? I don't recall his Texas Brigade running EVER!
