Battle of Gettysburg

The North chose a strategy of Blockade and Attrition called The Anaconda Plan, but eventually shifted to a strategy of Total War. The South chose a defensive Strategy of Attrition, hoping for intervention by England and France, to make Northern voters tire of the war and elect representatives to sue for peace.

It was the North that had the problems with the draft. An affluent young man could pay a substitute to do his service for him. This was obviously bad for morale.

But it also didn't help the armies much. Simply - who were these substitutes? Obviously, men who had been too young or too old when the draft was first announced, or men who had been dodging the draft, or men who had already been rejected by the army.

They are all major turning point battles in the wars they took place in.

Extension of slavery into the new Western territories, and the balance of power between North and South in Congress.

high ground is useful in battle because the enemies would have to fight upward towards you and you would have the advantage of fighting donwards. knights/cavalry weren't as effective because both the rider and the horse would tire easier.

Rivers were an important means of transportation. Whoever controlled the rivers could ship troops and supplies where they liked.

Westernization by Peter the Great (Peter 1) and Catherine the Great.

She fought the Ottoman empire for a warm water port.

Russia used overland trade routes

Two of the main generals who fought in the battle of Fort Sumter were General Robert Anderson and General Pierre T. Beauregard. These were the very first generals who fought in the battle that began the Civil War.

IMPROVEMENT.

Lincoln offered the Command of US Army to Robert E. Lee after Fort Sumter.

Gettysburg was important because it was very influential, and led to the result of the civil war. And it was one of the bloodiest battles in the history of the united states. Hope this helps youu! Comment if im wrong.

The battle ended in 1945 when the war ended in 1945

* He made it clear that democracy, a united country, and abolition of slavery were causes worth fighting for to the bitter end. * What was clear to me was that he said we can not dedicate this battlefield any more than those who shed their blood have already done. * One view is that when president Lincoln gave the speech, he was trying to impress on us that the soldiers were trying to help us keep our country safe. * All men are created equal and are no different from each other.

It made Harrison famous.

It made Tecumseh join the British side during the War of 1812.

It made the Indians of Tecumseh and the Prophet weak and the Americans controlled Indiana.

Northern victories that served as turning points in the war.

The U.S. participated in the Vietnam War. We were allies with the South Vietnamese. Vietnam won their independece from France and then they split into North and South. We helped and aided the South Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. If the young are finally given the correct history on the Vietnam War (I'd rather place my bet on a Vietnam War Vet speaking to the kids than any books could tell) then that's magic, because the U.S. government not only lost that war, but they under-estimated their enemy. For the first time in American History many American citizens were torn over this war and didn't give the Vietnam Vets who made it home the honor they deserved. The U.S. Government gave little aid to the Vets and many of them had psychological problems (trauma) and also drug addiction. The U.S. government tried to hide the embarrassment of this war and took it out on the very men who served their country. If anything should be learned about this war all countries shouldn't be quite so hasty to go into war before learning more and getting to know their real enemy. War simply makes money! Some wars have to be fought, but the Vietnam War was a mistake and isn't that a lovely label to put on the Vietnam Vets. If you really want to learn about the Vietnam War go on websites and talk to Vietnam Vets!

After it generally never moved into the north

The Battle of Gettysburg can only be called correctly by that name. It does not carry an alternate name as do some other battles such as Bull Run/ Manassass or Antietam/ Sharpsburg. Other names referring to the battle include: The High Water Mark of the Confederacy and The Turning Point of the war. In the case of the latter, that name is still much debated considering other battles of significance can be and are called The Turning Point, namely Antietam and Vicksburg.

It is not known precisely who shot first at the beginning of the Battle of Gettysburg. It is likely, however, that it was Union cavalry troopers which were responsible. On July 1, 1863, as Confederate troops approached the town of Gettysburg, cavalry troopers observed their approach, quickly decided to put up a defense, and then set to laying down effective fire that held off the superior numbers of Confederates until reinforced hours later.

As more white men were enlisted in the armed forces, African Americans and women needed to take over the jobs of those men so that America would be able to manufacture tanks, airplanes, ships, guns, submarines, jeeps, etc. This gave them the ability to obtain jobs after the war and helped make equal work opportunities for people of all races and sexes in the 50s and 60s

Of course there were survivors, though the losses were immense and terrible. Twenty-three Federal regiments lost well over 50% of their strength, and the Confederate loss rate could not have been much less. Gettysburg was one of the ten bloodiest battles of the Civil War.

Ulysses S. Grant was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General March 2, 1864 and was appointed General in Chief of the Federal Armies on the 10th of that month.

Typically, 38-40.

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain commanded the 20th Maine Regiment.

No battles were fought in Massachusetts during the Civil War .
