The Battle of Gibeah and Micah's Idol

In both Hammurabi’s Code and Exodus 19-21, there is a clear set of rules and procedures which constitute the way people should be living. This is evident through each reading’s focus on robbery, property, and deceit. It is explicitly said in the ten commandments that, “Thou shalt not steal.” In delving deeper into Exodus 19-21 it is also written that, “If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.” This type of ideal is also apparent in Hammurabi’s code, where it is said that, “If a seignior stole either an ox or a sheep or an ass or a pig or a boat, if it belonged to the church [or] if it belonged to the state, he shall make thirtyfold restitution; if it belonged to a private citizen, he shall make good tenfold.”

For my battle analysis assignment, I have chosen to examine the battle of Shiloh. This battle began April 6 – 7 1862, in the Pittsburg Landing area of Tennessee. In Hebrew Shiloh, means “peace” nonetheless, this battlefield was far from a place of peace from April 6-7 1862. This battle was the bloodiest civil war battle to date and occurred between the Union and Confederate armies. Having analyzed the battle from multiple sources, I have discovered a number of operational, tactical, and logistical mistakes that contributed to the Confederate losses suffered. My sources include documentaries, historical videos, books, and articles from historians and civil war experts who have spent their lives studying and dissecting the civil war, its battles, commanders, and tactics. As part of my analysis, I will highlight the Confederate mistakes that could have produced a different outcome of this historical battle.

On April 6-7, 1862 the Battle of Shiloh took place in southwestern Tennessee not far from Corinth, Mississippi. The battle was between the Union and the confederates. The Union won but with heavy casualties for both sides. The Unions casualties were 13,047 (1,754killed, 8,408 wounded, and 2,885 missing). While the confederates suffered 10,699 casualties (1,728 killed, 8,012 wounded, and 959 missing or captured.

The Battle of Shiloh is historically known as one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Part of the Western Campaign, Shiloh came on the heels of Union victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, primarily as a Confederate attempt to halt the Union's advance into the deep South. Though causes of the Union victory at Shiloh may be disputed, the significance of this Battle to the War's outcome is undeniable.

Texas(The Lone Star State)became part of the United States in 1845. It was the twenty-eighth state in the U.S. Texas gained its independence from Mexico at San Jacinto Creek, but it had a hard time getting there. First there was the battle of Gonzales, October 2, 1835. The Mexican army had orders to go retrieve a cannon there. They were met by a bunch of Texan rebels and a tense stand of. A handful of Texans opened fire on the Mexicans, who swiftly withdrew. It was a mere skirmish and only one soldier was killed. Nevertheless it was the start to the War for Texas Independence. Next was the Battle of Goliad, October 10, 1835. The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution. In the early-morning hours of October 9, 1835,

Tablet IV tells the story of Gilgamesh and Enkidu partaking in their adventure to the edge of the Cedar Forest, and their encounter with a guard, an enemy. Throughout this battle, Gilgamesh loses faith in the couples ability to defeat the guard but is ultimately talked back into his heroic mindset by The Gods. In column VI, having just defeated the guard, Enkidu then finds himself in a similar situation to Gilgamesh, whereby he doubts their ability to defeat Humbaba, and it comes down to Gilgamesh, and his leadership to reiterate the ongoing theme of companionship in order to convince Enkidu to continue fighting in order to finish the battle. The theme of the inevitability of death is also shown throughout this column, with Enkidu’s injury being a clear indication of what is undoubtedly going to happen later in the poem.

Heading into the season, an area of concern for WVU was its secondary but rest assured

The Battle of Shiloh consisted of a two day battle, resulting in a win for the Union. In the beginning, Confederate troops pushed the Union soldiers back trying to confine them against the Tennessee River. The Confederates chances of victory diminished as more army men appeared, followed by the death of Johnston, who was a Confederate General who held strong during the Battle of Fort Sumter.

The three probably most important battles of the Civil War were great victories, but came at a price.

22). For example, in the case of Poletown Neighborhood Council v. Detroit the Michigan Supreme Court permitted (with the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution’s “public use”) Detroit to seize an entire ethnic neighborhood and hand it over to General Motors for a new factory (Bandow, 2004). In the Laws of Robbery 1:11 Rambam a famous Jewish sage comment “The appetite for wealth brings one to desire the property of others, and this brings a person to robbery. If the owners refuse to sell their property, even after being offered much money and put under heavy pressure, if they seek to prevent the covetous person from robbing them, it can bring him to actual bloodshed. Go out and learn from the story of Ahab and Naboth.” In actuality Ahab and Jezebel broke several of the commandments by first breaking the last of the Ten Commandments. Ahab allowed false testimony to accuse an upright man of blasphemy and treason, opposing the Ninth Commandment “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16, NASB). As of this false testimony Naboth was murdered breaking the Sixth Commandment “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Then Ahab stole his whole vineyard breaking the Eighth Commandment “You

The texas general was James W Frannin. The goliad massacre The battle of the goliad massacre was a battle that lasted about thirty minutes.The general of mexico was Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.The Goliad Massacre hardened attitudes toward Santa Anna throughout the United States and inflamed and unified the Texas resistance.By the time the colonel ordered the retreat, it was too late.The finely bred, West Point-trained officer lingered for a while as a 1,400-man army led by Santa Anna’s chief lieutenant, General Jose de Urrea, closed in on Goliad.The battle of the goliad massacre was in Presidio La Bahía, Goliad.Sam Houston ordered James Frannin to evacuate his 400 soldiers from Goliad and retreat to Victoria , a town 30 miles to the east behind the natural defense of the Guadalupe River.Santa Anna’s ruthless treatment of the captured soldiers had the opposite effect than what he intended.When one of their carts fell into the San Antonio River, the colonel told his men to halt and retrieve it.The Alamo!” His men thundered a reply with an addendum: “Remember the Alamo! Instead of taking cover in the nearby woods, Fannin ordered his men to form a square on an open prairie near Coleto Creek.Whether indecisive, stubborn or loyal to the rebels away on missions whom he did not want to abandon, Fannin remained in Goliad until the morning of March 19. The Alamo! Instead, the Mexican commanding officer shot Fannin in the face, burned his body with the others and kept the timepiece as a war prize.Fannin,had to get there fast for his safety as the orders he received on March 14, 1836.“This show of generosity after a hotly contested engagement is worthy of the highest commendation,” Urrea wrote to Santa Anna, “and I can do no less than to commend it to your Excellency.”Santa Anna, however, had no desire for such mercy.The death toll would have been even higher if not for a Mexican woman known as the “Angel of Goliad” who convinced a Mexican colonel to spare the lives of approximately 20 doctors, orderlies and interpreters.Less than a month later, as Houston prepared his men for the decisive Battle of San Jacinto that would earn Texas its

Khe Sanh, a plateau in the northwest corner of South Vietnam, was a U.S. Marine Corps base and airstrip. Located where North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and Laos came together, the Khe Sanh base was important for American forces, as it enabled troops to gather information about the traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. However, the Communists also admired the region around Khe Sanh, since it could act as an avenue into Southern Vietnam. General Westmoreland, who would come to play a major role in the future battles, immediately felt this “crucial importance” (Brush) of Khe Sanh when he first arrived there.

Everybody that works with freaks becomes a suspect. Scully and Mulder approach the “Tabernacle of Terror”. The dark room covered with dusk, the light only entering in from the entrance and exit. The art manager was working at his workbench on a head with a screaming face. He is killed in his storage room by a slithering figure with the face of a monster. Blood is everywhere. Each time a murder occurs they make you believe that the freaks are responsible. They set the scene in a frightening space to pull the view in and make you think it must be the freaks. What this is saying is that even if you work in a horrible place such as the “Tabernacle of Terror” that it doesn’t make you a terrifying person. That often people who look different are

In 2009 a planned re-enactment of the Battle on the Plains of Abraham was set to take place on the original battlefield in light of its 250th anniversary. However the historical re-enactment of the 1759 battle was cancelled by The National Battlefields Commission for security concerns that could, as CBC News wrote, “turn into a modern-day conflict.” There is speculation other factors influenced the withdrawal of the re-enactment such as the overwhelming negative responses from the francophones in Quebec. These negative reactions were supported by the devastation resulting from the loss of the battle in 1759 and the modern-day neglect of Quebec and French culture. I commend the decision to cancel the re-enactment of the Battle because of

Battle of Al Busayyah: Was a tank battle fought before sunrise near the town of Al Busayyah. The city was defended by Iraqi Infantry units secured with machine guns and fighting positions. The 2nd Brigade, Part of the U.s 1st Armored Division, was in charge of taking the town. Their plan was to move north and seize the city, and the rest of the Brigade would attack Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard north of Kuwait. This battle led to another battle hours later, known as the Battle of 73 Easting.
