During the American Civil War, the major battle fought between Southern and Northern armies in Pennsylvania occurred in the southeast region of the state, in and around the small town of Gettysburg. Taking place from July 1st through July 3rd of 1863, the battle turned out to be a decisive Union victory, as it resulted in an orderly but sure retreat by the Southern forces, which would never again invade Northern territory.

Yes. The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point for the North in the war. It seems that there was an arsenal near by that the South was ready to raid it for supplies. However, The Battle of Gettysburg proved to be unsuccessful from the Southern point of view. The South "won " the first two days of the battle; but the third day proved to be the turning point for the North. leading to an eventual victory for the North in the war.
