Why was the Battle of Gettysburg a turning point?

Answer 1

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.

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.)

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

Answer 2

The historians who believe that Gettysburg was a turning point cite the fact that the South never again went on the offensive on northern soil. The initiative shifter permanently to the North, in the East. It dispelled the myth of Lee's invincibility.
