No one will force you to give them your name and address. The telephone counselors answering calls are trained crisis workers. They will explore your feelings and help you come up with ways to cope with emotional pain. They may be able to give you referrals for local mental health clinics. In the case when there's an acute danger of you committing suicide, there's an option to send help to get you to the emergency room. It depends on your situation and each crisis center's policies.
You don't have to be feeling suicidal to call 1-800-suicide. If you're worried about someone else who is feeling suicidal or needs crisis intervention, they will also talk to you.
Answer from actual experience:
If you call and hang up, or they just feel like you're in danger of killing your self or someone else they'll 'ping' 911.
A ping too 911 gives them basic info such as 'you overdosed on tylenol'. First the police (and back up) will try knocking on your door, if no answer they break in.
If you answer the door, they'll ask your name and for ID. If you identify as the caller they'll tell you to turn around and put your hands behind your back as 'precautions' Congrats you've just been under arrest for the Mental Health Act. Once you're in handcuffs the paramedics talk to you a bit as-well as the police then they'll bring you to a hospital.
-It gets better here on-
You don't get to wait in the normal emergency waiting room you get to wait in a psych room. Which is a room with nothing in it, reinforced door, high ceilings, and a camera. No one is allowed to talk to you except the doctors. The doctors will come and asses if you need to be seen by the psychiatrist on call. The resident psychiatrist will head down to you and talk to you if she feels like you need to be in psych ward then you're screwed.
battle of manassas (bullrun) was the first major battle
Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point in the war
the battle of Vicksburg divided the south ( the north took controll over the Mississippi river)
firing on fort Sumter (by the confederacy) marked the beginning of the war
and the battle of lexiton and concord
EDIT: First of all, Lexington and Concord was the American Revolution...
But besides that, a few of the battles were The Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Antietam, Battle of Fredericksburg, Battle of Chancellorsville, Battle of Shiloh, Battle of Vicksburg, and Battle of Gettysburg. The Battle of Bull Run showed that both sides needed training and the Battle of Antietam did as well, although North won the second one because Robert E. Lee was forced to retreat. The Confederacy won the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Chancellorsville, but lost an important war leader during them. The Battle of Shiloh was one of the bloodiest wars of the Civil War and during it, the North blockaded the Confederacy's ports. During the Battle of Vicksburg, the North took the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy in half. The Battle of Gettysburg was the major turning part of the war where the North pretty much won the war after winning that battle.
What union generals fought for the south?
Five regular US Army generals resigned to join the Confederates:
Samuel Cooper, Joseph E. Johnston, Sidney Johnston (no relation), P.G.T. Beauregard, Robert E. Lee.
Cooper was an unknown, who was senior only by age.
Joe Johnston had the highest official seniority, but the Confederate President Jefferson Davis (an ex-regular who had hoped to be General-in-Chief) ranked him only fourth because his most recent service had been at a desk and not in the line. The two men feuded for the rest of the war.
Sidney Johnston was considered the best General in America, but was killed in the early operations in Tennessee.
Beauregard fired the first shots of the war (at Fort Sumter), and then gained glory at the First Battle of Bull Run. He was second-in-command to Sidney Johnston in Tennessee, but his health failed and he did not figure in the later campaigns.
Lee had not wanted to defect (he wanted to accept Lincoln's offer of command of all the Union armies), but when his home-state of Virginia voted Confederate, he decided he was a Virginian first and an American second.
Yes.
Joe Johnston was badly wounded and hospitalised for months. It would not have been enough just to hand over to the second-in-command. It needed a new appointment.
