Most consider the Battle of Gettysburg the turning point of the Civil War.
Up until Gettysburg, the Confederate Army was winning the war, and was months away from invading Washington D.C.
General Lee intended to push the Union up to Pennsylvania, cutting the Union Army off from D.C, and then take D.C with no resistance (considering the entire union force would be pinned in Penn).
In Gettysburg, Lee and his staff became reckless, which led the Union forces to push the Confederate forces back. After this victory, the Confederacy's morale dropped and they seemed to stay on the run until the end of the war.
