Vicksburg and Gettysburg

The Union army took up sold defensive positions on the high ground, forcing the Confederates to waste their efforts on futile frontal assaults.

Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, brought supplies of bandages to the surgeons at the Battle of Cedar Mountain, Virginia, and carried food and water to the wounded. Surgeon James Dunn named her the "angel of the battlefield".

The North appeared to have the advantage in population and industrial capacity which eventually did prove crucial in the long term.

The Gettysburg Campaign took place from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Pickett's Charge -

Of all of the events that occurred during the three days of the Battle of Gettysburg, few have been more studied, debated, celebrated, and romanticized than Longstreet's Assault, more popularly known as "Pickett's Charge". Coordinated by Lt. General James Longstreet, the attack has been referred to as "Longstreet's Grand Assault" by many historians. Yet it is General George Pickett's name that has forever been attached to the "High Water Mark" of the battle, for his troops- "the flower of Virginia manhood"- were more glorified for their participation in the charge by southern and northern writers in the years following the battle.

Pickett attacked the center of Union line deployed on Cemetery Ridge. The assigned point of breakthrough (schwerpunkt) was "The Angle", located at a point countersigned by a little group of trees, which were well visible from the starting point of the charge.

No, that was the the fall of Vicksburg, on the Mississippi river.

The Gibraltar of the Confederacy.

While this is what is taught in school, it is a lie. The Rothschilds plainly stated in the newspapers of the day that if Lincoln did not bow the knee to their usury, he "would find himself in a most unfortunate civil war."

The Battle of Fort Necessity, or the Battle of the Great Meadows took place on July 3, .... to gather as many supplies and paid volunteers as he could along the way. .... in disaster, and the French remained in control of Fort Duquesne until 1758.

They have burg at the end

Wilmer McClain, "The Civil War began in my front yard, and ended in my parlor."

I'm going to have to make the assumption that you're referring to Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the only American with the last name Chamberlain famous enough to be recognized by his last name alone.

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain served in the Union Arm from 1862-1865, entering the army as the Executive Officer of the 20th Maine Infantry Regiment at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (although originally offered the position of Commanding Officer at the rank of full Colonel, which he refused) he eventually advanced to Division Commander, 1st Division, V Corps at the permanent Army rank of Brigadier General, and the rank of brevet Major General of Volunteers.

Chamberlain's defense of the the Union Army's extreme left on the second day at Gettysburg (a defense for which he was ordered to hold to the last man), which concluded with his ordering a bayonet charge when his men ran out of ammunition, is thought by some historian's to have been the most crucial action of the second day at Gettysburg, saving the entire Union Army from being flanked. For this action, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Chamberlain is equally famous for being the Union officer who formally received the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Courthouse. As the Confederate Army paraded in to surrender, he is the officer who ordered "carry arms," saluting the Confederates as they surrendered.

Before Gettysbrg, they were revelling in their brilliant victory at Chancellorsville, darkened only by the death of Stonewall, and they were looking to raid the prosperous state of Pennsylvania for farm produce and many war supplies.

This period has been known ever since as the Confederate High Watermark.

After their defeat at Gettysburg, compounded by news of the liberation of the Mississippi, they could only straggle back to Virginia, where they would be in no state to conduct major campaigns for many months.

It was a devastating psychological blow to the Confederates, from which they never recovered. It was also from this time that Lee's health began to decline, perhaps psychosomatic.

It withheld diplomatic recognition and military aid from the Confederacy.

But this was no longer high on the British agenda in any case. It was Lee's earlier attempt at invading the North in September 1862 that was being watched carefully by the British, as a test of Confederate viability. When Lee lost the Battle of Antietam, the British decided to wait and see if he might be luckier next time. But crucially, Lincoln used his new credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which made it impossible for free countries abroad to aid the South without looking pro-slavery themselves.

he was born in south Carolina, but he spent most of his child hood in Georgia

I am not really sure what you are asking here. Would be glad to give an answer.

The battleof Kennesaw Mountain lasted for three days therfore it ended June 30, 1864.

For the North (Union) it was George Meade and for the South (Confederacy) it was Robert E. Lee. The North won the battle and the battle marked the end of the South's attempts to invade the North.

They were given a large portion of land surrounding the Hudson bay. The land was called "Ruperts Land". Since the HBC owned the land they had an monopoly of its buisness.

Monopoly-complete control(only people aloud to buy and sell furs there)
