The North held strong defensive positions on the high ground. The North outnumbered Lee's forces. The Northern position stood astride the Southern communication, transportation, and evacuation routes. The South did not have a lot in its favor at Gettysburg.

Which battle was considered the turning point of the civil war?

The Battle of Gettysburg is considered the turning point of the war because on May or July 1-3,1863 for the first time, the Union defeated Robert E. Lee's seemingly immortal troops. The Battle of Gettysburg was a mistake, the Union troops and Confederates accidentally ran into each other. For 1-2 days the South seemed to be winning the battles, but since Lee's shortage of cavalry (he split up his forces before the battle) he had no way of knowing Union positions, and so his assaults did not work as they were planned.
