There is no definitive answer to what Robert E. Lee's favorite color was as historical records do not provide specific information on his color preferences. Lee was a prominent Confederate general during the American Civil War and his personal tastes were not extensively documented. It is important to focus on his military strategies and historical impact rather than trivial details like favorite colors.

In the US Civil War, the battle of Gettysburg took place in (and immediately south of) Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Gettysburg is just over the state line from Maryland, and is about 90 miles (140 km) due north of Washington DC.

Geography played a key role in the battle. The Union command of the high ground afforded easily defensible positions from which the artillery could devastate the enemy, attacking over open terrain, and then uphill, while providing cover for the defending troops, and allowing practically uninhibited communication between defending units for reinforcements and supplies.

You can find maps indicating where quartz is located in geological survey websites, mineral resource maps, or mining publications. Additionally, specialized geology books, academic research papers, and mineral identification guides may also contain information on quartz deposits and locations.

The charge of the microorganism is usually negative. The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer which is polar, the outside is usually negative. Depending on the staining protocol, a dye will be repelled by or attracted to the cell. Sometimes you use two different dyes- one to color the cell and then one to color the background or surrounding area. Sometimes you want to color the inside of the cell, so you need to melt the cell membrane or cell wall away with heat or chemicals. This allows the dye back in. Sometimes there are steps to resolidify this barrier to trap the dye inside prior to rinsing the slide with water or whatever. These steps are tricky and easy to screw up completely, resulting in a clear or invisible specimen because the dye didn't "take".

They went to Gettysburg because they wanted to move the war up North, so they thought they would start from there.

George Mead was a social psychologist known for his work on symbolic interactionism, emphasizing the role of symbols and language in shaping human behavior and society. His ideas have had a significant impact on the fields of sociology, psychology, and communication studies. Mead's work highlighted the importance of social interactions in the development of the self and the understanding of social reality.

The population of the Northern States was about 22 million while the South had a only about nine million persons. That doesn't say it all, because there were almost 3.5 million slaves included in the South's population count which were a liability. The slave population required guarding and supervision. They were unavailable as troops, because if they were ever given access to arms a slave revolt was certain.

Access to resources such as funding, technology, or expertise can be a good example of an enabling factor. These resources can help individuals or organizations overcome barriers and achieve their goals more effectively.

The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the American Civil War, resulting in several significant consequences. Firstly, it marked a major defeat for the Confederate Army and weakened their chances of achieving victory. Secondly, it boosted morale for the Union Army and increased support for President Abraham Lincoln's war effort. Lastly, it led to the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared the freedom of all slaves in Confederate territory and shifted the focus of the war towards the abolition of slavery.

Around 13000, mainly made up of troops from Virginia and North Carolina.

They came out of the woods after a huge bombardment by their artillery, and began the nearly mile long march across the fields to the waiting foe, secure behind a stone wall. At first, the Union line is silent, cannons saving ammunition.

The Confederates dress their lines, and with drummers beating out the route step, heard these words.

From General Armistead, commanding the 9th, 57th, 53rd, 14th, and 38th Virginia.

"For your wives, your sweethearts, for your homes, for Virginia, forward!"

From General Pettigrew, commanding the 11th, 52d, 26th, and 47th North Carolina.

"Now boys, for the glory of The Old North State, forward!"

They come on now, battle flags whipping in the breeze, iron hard veterans of many a conflict.

The Yankee troops watch, and the sight takes their breath away. Here is war in the ancient style, troops coming on with a purpose, the blue light of battle shining bright.

They cannot help but admire these long gray lines, but as they admire them, they make ready to destroy them.

Cannon begin to tear holes in the lines, and the rebs dress the lines, fill in the gaps, and come on, crossing a fence now near the Emmittsburg road.

Pettigrew gets it first, and his men double quick to the front. Now canister and musketry begin to rake the rebel lines, and for some, it is too much, and they break for the rear.

Now the rebels return fire, and many yankees fall, and some break and run. The rebels reach the line in spots, a North Carolina captain stands on the wall for an instant, telling his men to come on, and union troops yell "Don't shoot him!" But he falls, riddled with bullets. More federals rush forward, and beat back the attack. Armistead is mortally wounded, and half of the men that made the attack never return.

Many of the Yankees shout "Fredricksburg!" Lee had inflicted horrible losses the previous December on the federals there, as his men had the stone wall that time.

Lee retreated into Virginia, taking full responsibility for the defeat.

General Ulysses S Grant was not at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was conducting the Seige of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River from May to July of 1863.
General George Meade's main objective at Gettysburg was to place his army between the Army of Northern Virginia and Washington DC and to force General Robert E Lee to attack him. This he accomplished with skill and efficiency.

The Battle of Glorieta Pass is called the Gettysburg of the West due to its significance and impact on the American Civil War. Like Gettysburg, it was a decisive battle that halted Confederate advances into Union territory. It marked a turning point in the war in the West and ensured Union control of the New Mexico Territory.

Yes, there was special planning and preparation made for the Battle of Gettysburg. Both the Union and Confederate armies had specific strategies and objectives in mind. The Confederate General Robert E. Lee planned to invade the North, while the Union General George Meade aimed to defend key positions and prevent a Confederate victory. Both sides engaged in reconnaissance and strategic positioning of troops, laying the groundwork for the battle that would unfold at Gettysburg.

The exact number of civilian deaths during the Battle of Gettysburg is difficult to determine, but it is estimated to be relatively low. Most of the casualties at Gettysburg were military personnel, with civilian deaths primarily occurring due to shelling or accidental stray bullets. Some estimates suggest that around 20 civilians died during the battle.

Yes, the Gettysburg Speech, also known as the Gettysburg Address, was indeed only about two minutes long. President Abraham Lincoln delivered the speech on November 19, 1863, during the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Despite its brevity, it is considered one of the most profound and significant speeches in American history.

The Union officer who led the 20th Maine at the Battle of Gettysburg was Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. His leadership and tactical decisions on the second day of the battle, particularly during the defense of Little Round Top, played a crucial role in the Union victory. Chamberlain's heroic actions earned him a Medal of Honor.

Phil Sheridan played a crucial role in the Battle of Gettysburg as the commander of the Union cavalry. He was responsible for launching a successful counterattack on the third day of the battle against Confederate forces, helping to secure a Union victory. Sheridan's leadership and aggressive tactics played a significant role in shaping the outcome of the battle.

Mead's idea was to stop the advance of Lee's forces and to destroy them, if possible. Lee's specific strategic goal has never been fully articulated. His forces threatened several Northern cities in the East. His original intention may have been to relieve pressure on Vicksburg in the West by drawing forces away to protect the East. He may have hoped to force Northern politicians to the peace table, or to frighten Northern voters into opting for the peace candidates in the elections of 1864, but that is mere surmise. Lee remained mute on the subject until his death.

The South shifted to a purely defensive strategy of attrition to prolong the war long enough for the war-weary voters to oust Lincoln and offer peace terms to McClellan if he beat Lincoln in the elections of 1864. Sherman's victory at Atlanta gave the voters hope that the end was near; so, Lincoln defeated McClellan, and the South was sunk.
