I can tell you that the Brigade Commander suffered no repercussions. The 18th NC was in the Brigade commanded by BGEN James Henry Lane, an 1854 graduate of VMI, and a college professor before the war with a Master's from UVA. At the time of his promotion from Col. the November before he was the youngest flag officer in the Army of Northern Virginia at just 29 years old. And on 4 separate occasions, 3 of which occurred after Chancellorsville he stepped in to temporarily command divisions, in one case for several months.

After the war his reputation still very much intact he became the first Commandant of Virginia's new Land Grant College in 1872, the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical Institute, known today as Virginia Tech.
