While marching, George Washington stopped at Valley Forge to pray for his army and that they would win the Revolutionary War.
Valley Forge never was a battle it was the camp of Washington's troops. They left from this camp on Dec. 24th , 1776 to cross the Delaware River to take the Hessian troops while they were having great fun for Christmas. His men were so ragged that they left bloody footprints in the snow because their boots had rotted or they didn't have any. This was the first win for Washington and helped push the American cause forward.
Probably in April when Baron von Steuben tranformed the discouraged troops into an organized fighting force, which is probably the reason their morale was raised and they went on to win the battle of Monmouth.
Friedrich Steuben, Baron von Steuben was a Prussian officer who trained troops at Valley Forge.Casimir Pulaski was a Polish aristocrat who trained American cavalry along with Hungarian nobleman Michael Kovats de Fabriczy (both Pulaski and Fabriczy were killed in the war).

There was no battle at Valley Forge and thus nothing to win. The question was whether the American army would disappear as men died of starvation, exposure and disease or deserted to avoid those perils. In that sense Mother Nature was the victor. The Americans did come out of Valley Forge with an intact army in the spring of 1778, and moreover, it was a better trained army than ever before, so that I suppose could be counted as a victory.
America has never lost a battle or war.
It was not a turning point, yet it was the first win for Washington and that gave the troops confidence.

The Union won complete control of the Mississippi River Valley.
I don't really know but they got General Cornwallis to surrender by surrounding him, with a French Navy blocking off Chesapeake Bay and the Americans behind him. General Nathaniel Greene exhausted them by attacking, then running. The British plundered civilian homes and bad feelings soon arose.
The patriots! This was the final battle, if the patriots didn't win there may not be an America today! It was independence day!
