Who would win in a fight the tiger or the lion?
Asked by Wiki User
A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt. Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans

Asked by Wiki User
Tough, outnumbered though they were. They fought fiercely, as always, and pinned several defeats on Grant.

How did the confederates win the battle of Fredericksburg despite being outnumbered?
Asked by Wiki User
Being outnumbered was a constant factor for the Confederates,at almost every battle and not unique to this battle. At Fredericksburg the Union disadvantages were first logistical in nature. The Union army had to construct a pontoon bridge(under fire from the Confederates) to cross the Rappahannock River just to be able to launch attacks. The Confederate Army was very well prepared and well placed with regard to the infantry and the artillery batteries.This ground was mostly higher(Marye's Heights) than that closer to the river,so the Union troops were very exposed when they got across the river. By contrast,the Confederates were protected by the ground they held and by their being"dug-in." The Union artillery could not get close enough to have maximum effect against the Southern army. In a "nutshell" the battle came down to the advantage of having the strong Defensive position,to just wait for the Union attacks and mow-down the soldiers. Gen.Burnside ordered repeated attacks against this very strong position without success. The Generals under his command eventually refused to carry-out the order for more such attacks.
Who were the commanding confederate officers for both the North and the South in the Battle Of The Wilderness?
Asked by Wiki User
What characterizes shermans march across georgia?
Asked by Wiki User
Sherman's March to the Sea can be characterized by a few different things:
Creative originality of Sherman in devising this entirely new brand of warfare, attacking the civilian infrastructure that supported the enemy troops in the field.
Skillful camouflaging of his plans, concealing his proposed route through brilliant disinformation.
Shock and horror of the civilian population at this wholehearted destruction of farms and railroads.
Accusations of brutality against civilians - mostly deserved not by Sherman's men, but by the mounted vandals (mostly deserters from both sides) who rode alongside the army for the pickings.
Outstanding success of the campaign, shortening the war by months at almost nil casualties.
And finally... the emergence of a popular marching tune 'While we were marching through Georgia', that would be played wherever Sherman went for the rest of his life.
