ANSWER

During the last stage of the Battle of Cedar Creek, George Armstrong Custer led his 3rd Us cavalry division charging against the flank of the retreating Early's Army, litterally cutting them into two parts, thus transforming the retreat in a route, which ended only 50 Kilometers far away at New market.

The battle signed the end for good of the Confederate's offensive capability in the Shenandoah Valley, signing a decisive weakening of the whole Confederate Eastern Front as well. Even though Custer's performance during the battle was undoubtedly worthy of praise, saying that he "changed the Civil War" seems excessive, indeed.
