During the American Civil War, the July 1863 Union victory at Gettysburg was important for several reasons. For one thing, it was a clear victory, and the Union's Eastern Theater badly needed a victory after various defeats. For another thing, it occurred on Union territory; therefore, it represented a turning-back of the South's latest invasion-attempt. Henceforth, it would be Union forces that would be invading the South.
