It was one of the Union victories that came just in time to revive Northern morale and save Lincoln from being voted out of office.

Ironically, the capture of Atlanta was no part of Grant's strategy. It actually reflected Sherman's failure to destroy the Army of Tennessee. It was really a gesture that would make big headlines in the North.

How did the Federalist majority in the House of Representatives affect the outcome of the presidential election of 1800?

The Federalist majority in the House of Representatives played a crucial role in the outcome of the 1800 presidential election by determining the winner in a contentious tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. Despite Jefferson receiving more electoral votes, the House, controlled by Federalists, had the power to decide the election. Their eventual choice of Jefferson, influenced by political maneuvering and the desire to prevent Burr's presidency, marked a significant shift in power from Federalists to Democratic-Republicans, ultimately leading to a peaceful transfer of power that set a precedent for future elections.

How does the 12 amendment affect our lives today?

The 12th Amendment revised presidential elections.Prior to the 12th Amendment, the two parties would nominate their presidential candidates (like they still do). However, the winner of the election would become the president, and the loser of the election would become vice president.So, for example, in this last election, Donald Trump would have been president, and Hillary Clinton would have been vice president. Can you see the conflict with that? They would constantly disagree on every issue.The 12 Amendment made it so the presidential nominee and vice presidential nominee run together. So, like things are now, Donald Trump ran with Mike Pence, and Hillary Clinton ran with Tim Kaine.Now, the two heads of the Executive Branch come from the same political party, where they used to come from opposite parties.
