Best Answer

The Battle of Antietam was part of the Maryland Campaign; the Union won and it was a turning point because France and Britain were threating to recognize the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. Since Lincoln won the battle, he was able to show it was just more of an uprising with the South.

What was the turning point in the civil?

The turning point in the Civil War was the Battle of Gettysburg. It's considered so, because this battle stopped the one and only attempted attack in Union territory. It also had boosted the moral of Northerners, making them think they could possibly win the war, which they obviously did. Gettysburg was not the one and only Northern Incursion. The Maryland Campaign that led to Antietam preceded it. Gettysburg was the last Northern Invasion. [Also, the real turning point was Vicksburg: the closing of the Mississippi to Southern traffic.]
