it started the Civil War
The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, was a turning point in the Civil War primarily because it halted the Confederate Army's advance into the North and marked a significant defeat for General Robert E. Lee. The Union victory bolstered Northern morale and strengthened support for the war effort. Additionally, it led to the loss of a substantial number of Confederate troops and resources, shifting the momentum in favor of the Union forces for the remainder of the conflict. Ultimately, Gettysburg shifted the strategic initiative to the Union, paving the way for future victories.

Additionally, the fall of Atlanta in 1864 boosted Northern morale and solidified support for President Lincoln's re-election.
