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.
In early July, 1863, troops from General Robert E. Leeâs Army of Northern Virginia (the Confederates) met up with a patrol of Union cavalry on the outskirts of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Over the next three days, this encounter grew into a turning point of the Civil War.
