The Battle of Gettysburg is considered a turning point in the Civil War. Many reasons were suggested, but one of the main reasons was mental. It was General Lee's only hope to win a big victory in Northern territory, but he lost it, and therefore the morale went down. Lee had to go from offensive to defensive.

All you really need is this

(The Battle of Gettysburg was CSA's General Robert E. Lee' s second invasion of the North. Lee's army was defeated and he suffered more casualties than the south could, that is Yankee homeland.

About 25,000 of his 75,000 man army were casualties.

After Gettysburg, General Lee ever had enough men to attack the North directly again effectivly creating a military turning point of the war.)

last time lees troops launched an attack in the north

Lee lost so many troops that he would never again invade the north
