It started with the Emancipation Proclamation - effective January 1st 1863. This meant that Britain and France had to give up their plans to help the Confederates, because it would have made them look pro-slavery.
In May, the Battle of Chancellorsville looked like a shock defeat for the Union, but it cost the Confederates the life of General Stonewall Jackson - the only General whose death in action directly affected the course of the war, for the Army of Northern Virginia was never the same after the loss of Lee's right-hand man.
This was followed by an even bigger shock defeat for the Confederacy, at Gettysburg - announced on the same July the Fourth as the Union triumph at Vicksburg on the Mississippi.
In August, the Confederate commander Braxton Bragg scored a shattering victory over the Union at Chickamauga, and then besieged it at Chattanooga, but it was saved from starvation by U.S. Grant.
After 1863, only one thing could have allowed the Confederates to win the war, and that was the General Election of 1864, which was won by Lincoln in the end.
