The Battle of Gettysburg had the largest number of casualties of the war and is often considered the turning point of the war. After General Lee’s victory in Chancellorsville, VA, and with the Confederate spirits high, he led his army in its second invasion of the North, hoping to take the fighting away from Virginia and into Northern cities. By July 3rd the Union Army defeated attacks of the Confederate Army which ended Lee’s invasion of the North.
