Reasons for turnovers: Throw-away â The thrower misses his target and the disc falls to the ground. Drops â The receiver is not able to catch the disc. Blocks â A defender deflects the disc in mid flight, causing it to hit the ground. Interceptions â A defender catches a disc thrown by the offense.
Gettysburg (1863) was a turning point because it marked the highest point of Confederate power. It was General Lee's last invasion of the North, was the first indisputable defeat for the Confederacy, and saw the South take losses that, at that stage in the war, they could no longer afford.
Gettysburg and Vicksburg weren't seen as a turning point until all the fighting was done. Personally, I've always viewed Antietam as more of a turning point. This one handwritten page put a halt to British and French intervention on the side of the South by turning the War as, unquestionably, about slavery.
