Some of the Union troops shouted "Fredericksburg! Fredericksburg" after the fleeing Confederates. There had been a major Battle at Fredericksburg, Virginia the preceding December.. There the Union was lined up and made as many as fifteen separate charges at Confederates dug in at an exceptionally strong defensive position. It was a lopsided Confederate victory, with Union troops shot down in the thousands. None got within fifty feet of the Confederate position at Fredericksburg. So at Gettysburg, with the repulse of Pickett's Charge, the Union troops felt they had repaid some of the grief they had experienced at Fredericksburg.
