Did Rosecrans win a victory at Murfressboro?

The battle seemed to be a draw. But the Confederates did retreat South, and it is counted as a Union win.


Confederate leaders hoped that a victory in union territory would win support from?

Presumably you are referring to the South's efforts to obtain an alliance with major European powers like Britain or France. Like the Colonial victory at the battle of Saratoga, the South hoped that more victories against the North would bring those countries into the war on the side of the South. However, that wasn't really the main goal when the Confederacy's forces finally moved to attack the North on its own territory. The reason Southern leaders wanted to launch an offensive upon the North was to take some of the pressure off the South itself. Most of the early Civil War was fought in the South, especially Virginia. General Lee's invasion of the North, which culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg, was an attempt to draw Union forces away from the South and to cause damage on the North. The hope was that with Lee and his "invincible" armies rampaging through Pennsylvania and New York, Northern morale would plummet, and Lincoln would be forced to make peace with the Confederacy. However, Lee's defeat at Gettysburg put an early end to the campaign. Lee was forced to return to Virginia, and the remainder of the war was largely fought on Southern soil.


Who won the battle of antitam?

Both sides claimed victory but tactically it was a draw, ultimately it was a Union strategical victory as the Confederate Army retreated shortly after the battle back to southern territory. The south had failed with its goals, one of them was to gather support abroad for recognition of the South as an independent nation, another goal behind the invasion into Maryland was to strike fear into the North and thus gather support for the peace movement. The confederate commander Robert E Lee believed a military victory on northern soil might achieve one or even all of these goals. In Europe the union "victory" at Antietam did not impress, although it was considerad a union victory by the British government. With the emancipation of the slaves which followed it was clear that most European governments were discouraged to offer the South recognition.


Who won the battle of iron clads?

The jury is still out on who won the battle of Ironclad and continues to be a topic for debate. The battle was very important to both the north and south but since neither ship put the other out of battle the true results are inconclusive. Though the action was a tactical stalemate, since the Union blockade was not broken; so, the strategic victory must go to the North.


Why did Truman remove MacArthur from power?

Because MacArthur wanted to liberate South Korea completely, completely beat North Korea. However, when the U.S. army was close to victory, China joined forces with N. Korea. Truman then wanted to draw out from Korea to avoid conflict with China. However, MacArthur wanted to drop atomic bombs on China and start a war with them as well.

What were some key differences between the north and the south before the Civil War started?

There were key differences between the South and the North prior to the beginning of the US Civil War. Here are some of them:* The North had a developed, ongoing Federal government, and the South had to build one basically from scratch;* The North was a recognized nation throughout the world, while the South was trying to become one;* The North had an industrialized economy plus farmlands . This enabled them to produce food and weapons for the war. The South's economy was based on agriculture. The number of its factories was very small in relation to those of the North;* The difference in sizes of population were dramatic. The North had over 23 million people from which to draw forces for an army. In the South, the population was around 9 million with almost 4 million of them slaves; and* Although the North's navy was small, the South had no official warships. Each would build navies, however, the North had safe shipyards to build vessels, while the South did not.

Why did the North's industrial economy give it and advantage over the South in the civil War?

The North's industrial economy gave it an advantage over the South in the Civil War because it had a more developed infrastructure, a larger population, and greater manufacturing capabilities. The North benefited from the presence of factories and access to railroads, which enabled it to produce weapons, supplies, and equipment more efficiently. Additionally, the North's larger population allowed for a larger pool of soldiers and laborers to draw upon during the war.
