There were quite a number of major battles, depending entirely on your perspective and what you consider major. Generally, Gettysburg is considered one of the turning points as it was the last offensive by the south. The siege of Vicksburg is another, as it cut the south off from their western regions and gave the Union complete control of the Mississippi River.
