It marked the end of the Battle of Gettysburg - the failure of Lee's second and last attempt to invade the North, and a big psychological blow to the Confederates, with signs of disagreement between Lee and his faithful second-in-command James Longstreet.
Lee would be kept on the defensive from then on, never again able to execute his famous bold aggressive thrusts, and his health starting to fail too.
The Union Army defeated the Confederate attack known as Pickett's charge. It is considered to be the decisive point in the battle of Gettysburg.
Pickett attacked the center of Union line deployed on Cemetery Ridge. The assigned point of breakthrough (schwerpunkt) was "The Angle", located at a point countersigned by a little group of trees, which were well visible from the starting point of the charge.
The turning point was not a battle but a siege, the Siege of Vicksburg.
Most historians and scholars believe the turning point of the American Civil War was the Battle of Gettysburg fought in July 1863.
