When Ewell's corps did attack these positions on July 2 and July 3, the Union had had time to fully occupy the heights and build impregnable defenses, resulting in heavy Confederate losses.
Da Ewells korps angreb disse stillinger den 2. juli og 3. juli, havde unionshæren haft tid til at bygge uigennemtrængelige forsvarsstillinger, hvilket resulterede i store tab for Konføderationen.
