26. a – Ulysses S. Grant was the leading general of the U.S Army, forced lee to surrender at Appomattox. Battles fought were Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and Appomattox Courthouse.

The Confederacy's surrendered on April 9, 1865. More than a month after the Confederates had surrendered, on May 12, at 2:00 am the Confederate troops attempted to surround the Union troops, but no signs of people were found. Later at 3:00 pm Col. John’s guns began to fire and the Confederate troops attacked,

Confederates win the battle at Fredericksburg against the Union. The battle was December 13th , 1862. The generals were General Robert E. Lee, Ambrose Burnside, William B. Franklin, Stonewall Jackson, and General Longstreet. After the battle of Antietam, Abraham replaces General Mcclellan with General Ambrose Burnside. General Burnside’s men could not cross the Rappahannock without pontoons. This gave confederates enough time to regroup and prepare a counterattack. The confederates had time to get set up to fire upon the Union as they crossed.Longstreet’s artillery keep the Union at bay. The Union had 13,000 casualties. The confederates only had 5,000 casualties. After the battle the Union was pushed back to where it was. You could truly say

On the 19th, Lee and his forces retreated from the battle and returned to Virginia, slipping past the Potomac. After Lee withdrew his army back to Virginia, McClellan refused to pursue Lee further which led him to be removed from command by Abraham Lincoln. This Confederate retreat gave President Abraham Lincoln the “victory” he desired before issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. The bloodiest single day battle with a combined total of 22,717 casualties, finally concluded in a draw.

At Appomattox, Virginia confederate General Robert E Lee surrenders his 28,000 troops to t General Ulysses S Grant, effectively ending the American Civil

Grant led the Union in over 23 battles and won all of them. The biggest war he was in was the American Civil War. In the Battle of Shiloh the Confederate army planned a sneak attack in which they almost took control of Grant's soldiers but Grant outwitted them and retained control. When they fought at the cold harbor in June 1864 Grant put his men in the trenches which led to the largest loss of life he would experience in the Civil War. He lost 1,000 men in a matter of minutes and was later perceived as the “Butcher” because many people believed he would just continue to send men into battle regardless of the loss of life, and try to win by attrition. In three days General Grant nearly lost 18,000 of his men and General Lee lost almost two thirds of his men. The conditions they fought in were slick and muddy trenches which made for very hard fighting . The battles were so brutal the two generals ordered their men to retreat so that they could help the casualties. In 1865 General Grant maneuvered Lee’s army into the trenches around the campaign of Richmond and Petersburg. Grant ordered his men to make Lee’s army retreat no matter what it took and they were successful in doing that .This ultimately led to the surrender of General Lee's army surrendering at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865

The Confederate army surrendered at the battle of Vicksburg on July 4th 1863. They were sad and ashamed after prolonged violent attacks. This was the end of one of the most brilliant military campaigns of the war. The sad loss of Pemberton's army and the stronghold in Vicksburg on the mighty Mississippi River was very effective in splitting the Confederacy in half.

Throughout history, women are often excluded as they did not have equal resources in comparison to men. Women are a vital part of any society in any time period. In texts from ancient history, they are often mentioned in sex-stereotypical roles such as wives, mothers, daughters, and concubines. Euripides’ play, Melanippe, and Sophocles’ play, Tereus depict how women were taken for granted in a patriarchal society. The Epitaph of Sokratea is written from the perspective of a woman who died during childbirth.

General Ulysses S. Grant's brilliant siege of Vicksburg had a significant impact on the surrender of the Confederacy. This Vicksburg campaign was significant due to the fact that it basically gave the Union total control of the Mississippi River. This meant the isolation of the West and basically a clear waterway for supplies to reach the Deep South. Once this waterway was open arms, food, and soldiers could be provided for the Union soldiers in the South and open a devastating wound in the heart of the Confederacy. Once Vicksburg had been taken the West would basically be isolated and under the Unions control; in addition Grant could focus on the heart of the South. Once Vicksburg was captured, and Grant advanced

In the week following the Battle of Bentonville, the country rang with the news of Sherman 's fight with Johnston in the woods of North Carolina. Northern newspapers, including the New York Herald, featured bold front-page headlines announcing the encounter, and lengthy accounts of the fighting by war correspondents followed. But Robert E. Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Grant just three weeks after the guns fell silent at Bentonville, and Joseph E. Johnston laid down Confederate arms in his own theater on April 26, 1865. Occurring as it did "in the midst of the collapse of the Confederacy," the Battle of Bentonville

The origin of Euthyphro’s Dilemma began with a discussion between Socrates and Euthyphro, Socrates wanted to learn the nature of piety in order to tell the court his action of corrupting the young with impiety was wrong and had come to a realization. With Socrates many lines of questioning for Euthyphro, one specific question lead to the creation of Euthyphro’s argument, known as Euthyphro’s dilemma, an argument that refuses the Divine Command Theory. To better understand Euthyphro’s argument, I will present the similarity between Euthyphro’s Dilemma and the Divine Command Theory, along with the two types of DCT and lastly, explain the version I believe is the most plausible.

The Congress delayed for additional month then hardly agreed by only one election in the Senate. In the past hundred days of the war Lee’s army almost to nothing meaning his army didn’t really hold many men, he only hold thirty-five thousand men while Grant’s hold one hundred and twenty thousand. As the Confederates were not doing so well, the confederate postpone their final effort, by employing their own slaves they could not forever afford the five to one loss. The wives of these men begged for them to come home to feed their empty family

The American Civil War took place from April 12, 1861 to May 9, 1865. The simple answer is yes: the Civil War was completely inevitable, but there were many events, documents and people before its beginning that certainly had a large bearing on the war itself. The most divisive political issue in the United States in the mid-1800s was the expansion of slavery, and slavery is certainly the common denominator of the events leading up to the Civil War. People from the North were abolitionists, looking to abolish slavery and see those enslaved lead more fruitful lives. It would be incorrect to say that the United States couldn’t have survived without slavery, but slaves certainly played an extremely integral role in the economy and social structure of the South, which is why Southerners may have been so opposed to abolition. The Civil War was inevitable; a result of the aftermath of such events in history as the Compromise of 1850, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Bleeding Kansas, Dred Scott v. Sanford, and the Battle of Fort Sumner, which ultimately began the war.

In the last paragraph of the speech, President Lincoln is telling the American people that the proper way to honor the brave soldiers is to dedicate and devote your life to the country, one which there will be, “a new birth of freedom.” Lincoln points out this government will represent all the people, and will remain forever. President Lincoln, through this speech is trying heal the nation that is divided by the great Civil War, and offering
