Answer 1

B. TURNING POINT

Step-by-step explanation:

Many historians affirmed the Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the American Civil War.

The battle recorded about 50,000 men that fell as casualties (men listed as killed, wounded, or missing/captured). It brought a scale of suffering never seen before on the American soil. The war gave the Confederacy the best chance to achieve victory. The battle breathed new life into the Union war effort.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought in July 1863, and it brought a Union victory that finally stopped Confederate General Robert E. Lee's second invasion of the North.
