To assert that Charleston harbour was Confederate territory. Also to make the point that Confederate war-talk was not just talk, as some people thought it was.

Robert E. Lee. There was no such post until January 1865, much too late to make any difference. The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, had tried to double as General-in-Chief, but was hopelessly out of his depth.

Did repeating rifles make a difference to pickets charge at Gettysburg?
Yes they contributed greatly to the union victory, while the union soldiers had access to repeating rifles the confederates did not which caused the subsequent decimation of the confederate soldiers at that engagment. Repeating rifles were not used during pickett's charge, only cavalry used repeating rifles. Confederate cavalry had repeating rifles.
What skills made the Southerners good soldiers?
Personally, I think this is overrated. Yes, the Southerners grew up on farms, were used to working hard and long hours, were usually in good physical condition, often experienced with horses and shooting---but so were most of the Northern soldiers. What the Southerners did have in spades was superior leadership, knowledge of the terrain, and a much easier strategic objective: all they had to do was protect their territory from the North which was faced with the task of conquering a massive territory and holding on to it. The individual soldiers were not as different as people make them out to be. It is also worth noting that many Confederate soldiers were former Union soldiers. When their states seceded they left the Union army and joined the Confederate army. Many Confederate officers were West Point graduates, some having served with distinction in Mexico. There is a common misconception that the Confederate army was composed of good ol' boys that were handy with a rifle from hunting. In fact, the Confederate army was very disciplined, well-organized, and superbly led.

How did Alexander gardner use the camera to lie hint look for a harvest of death what did he want viewers to think about confederate soldiers what did he want viewers to think about union?
Alexander Gardener used his camera to "lie" by moving some of the dead bodies of soldiers around after the Battle of Gettysburg. He did so because he wanted to make a dramatic picture. He wanted viewers to think that the Confederate troops suffered a dishonored, lonely death in a battlefield while the Union troops had a calm, and peaceful death.
