Yes, the Battle of Gettysburg is considered to be a turning point of the US Civil War. Robert E. Lee's army was sufficiently damaged so that he would never have a force strong enough to take the war to Union soil again. In fact the Army of Northern Virginia would only be able to conduct limited offensive operations for the duration of the war. The defeat at Gettysburg coupled with the fall of Vicksburg in the western theatre of war would be a one - two punch that the Confederacy would not be able to recover from.
