Well, there were two important turning points of the war.
The first one is the Battle of Gettysburg. Basically, Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army marched into Pennsylvania to capture a town in order to cut off Washington D.C from the rest of the Union, which could force a decisive surrender of the Union. However, Union forces met with Confederate forces, resulting in a bloody battle that ended with the most notable conflict of the battle of General Pickett's Charge, which was the final conflict that resulted in the defeat of the Confederates. This was decisive because General Lee did not attempt to strategically end the war after this battle. Which further meant that Lee would have to fight an already pro longed war when the South did not have the resources or the industrial capacity or the able bodied men to serve as soldiers as the North did.
The second turning point I would say would be the appointment of General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union forces by Lincoln, due to that he was a brilliant general and already known war hero, and for the fact that of his only acceptance of enemy surrender conditions as "unconditional", hence his nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant".
The presence of north-to-south flowing rivers in the US affected its development by creating a economic bond between the North and the South, which some believe stemmed the onset of the Civil War until the creation of the railroad. Take Chicago, for example. Chicago existed as an agricultural hub where farm goods from the Midwest would go before making their way to larger markets. Before the Civil War, those goods traveled South down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and then were sold at New Orleans. This led the Western half of the US to look warily at Civil War because it would directly impact their ability to conduct trade. However, in the 1850s and 60s, Northern manufacturers began building railroads from Northern cities to Chicago, which artificially redirected the flow of farm goods to the East. Now, free from fearing an end of trade, Western politicians were more likely to approve of the Civil War.
