It was the Battle of Gettysburg, lasting from July 1st through July 3rd, 1863 and fought around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was known as the 'turning point' in the Civil War because there were an almost equal amount of casualties for each side; 23,055 casualties for the Union and 23,231 casualties for the Confederacy.
Additionally, this battle ended any more Confederate ideas about invading the North.
The answer would not be complete unless it states that most military historians do not classify Gettysburg as a major turning point in the war.
Also, military historians do not believe that Gettysburg caused any belief that the North could not be invaded again.

∙ 11y agoThe answer you are looking for is Gettysburg, but the importance of the battle has been diminishing in the minds of Civil War Historians, because the battle, though brutal, and though it halted Lee's final invasion of the North, was not, ultimately, a decisive battle that immediately led to the defeat of the South. Had Meade been able to mount an aggressive pursuit following the battle, and prevent Lee from crossing the Potomac to re-enter the safety of Virginia, he may have been able to end the war then and there, but he did not.
