What did the north gain at the Battle of Gettysburg?

Why Gettysburg the turning point in the war?

Although Gettysburg was not entirely a victory for the Union, it was very much a defeat for the South. The Confederate Army was never again able to gain the strength for a significant attack on the Union Armies. The defeat meant that England and France would not recognize the Confederacy as its own country. Furthermore, at the exact same time as the battle at Gettysburg, General Grant was able to crush the opposition and take Vicksburg, the last Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River. This meant that Union boats and supplies could use the great river. The first week of July, 1863, was very bad for the Confederacy.
