Union forces changed leadership due to mistakes in maneuvers.

The position of commander-in-chief of the Union Army was occupied, during the war, by the following generals:

Winfield Scott: from July 5, 1841 to November 1, 1861;

George B. McClellan: from November 1, 1861 to March 11, 1862;

Henry W. Halleck: from July 23, 1862 to March 9, 1864;

Ulysses Simpson Grant: from March 9, 1864 to March 4, 1869.

Scott was a former veteran of the Mexican-American War and because of his age he could not perform his duties properly. The war did not go well for the north during the first two years, and many were blamed for the poor qualities of strategist and the excessive caution of Scott's successor, Major General George B. McClellan. McClellan led the disastrous campaign of the peninsula and was replaced by Halleck as commander-in-chief as a result of the poor results. Although popular among the soldiers, McClellan was relieved of his position because of his excessive caution and controversial relationship with his superior, the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, being succeeded by Henry W. Halleck, who was preceded by very favorable reports from the western theater, but he was more an administrator than a planner and commander in chief.

Ulysses Grant was the last commander-in-chief of the Union Army. When he was appointed in March 1864 as the new commander-in-chief of the Union Army and Lieutenant General, he had already achieved fame on the occasion of his victories.

Grant supervised the Army of the Potomac (which was formally led by his subordinate, Commander General George G. Meade) in delivering the final hits to the Confederacy through the decisive defeats of the Confederate forces in a series of hard-fought battles in Virginia, culminating in the conquest of the city of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy.

Why was acquiring alaska important to the uswhy did the us want alaska?
Zolol [24]
Russia offered to sell Alaska in 1859 because they were in debt from the Crimean War. The U.S. did not initially make this purchase because of Civil War debts.

At the time of the purchase, America was still in a expansive mood. No one knew of any resources in Alaska then. Oil was not a big one for anyone. Alaska was even called "Stewart's Folly" (Stewart was a secretary of the interior) and a waste of federal money. (The dang place went for about 10 cents per square mile!)

Stewart wanted to simplify the map of North America and to block the British in Canada from further expansion as the USA and the British Empire were still not the best of friends.

Also, the Russians felt they could never have a firm hold on such a distance colony, needed some cash in a hurry because of a pending war with the Ottoman Empire and the Tzar on the throne at the time was a bit wacky.

It was strictly a move by the USA to secure the last major piece of real estate still open in North America.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

antisocial personality disorder

Explanation:

Antisocial personality disorder is a condition in which the person has dysfunctional thoughts and attitudes. In this case, these people tend to exploit others for some gain, whether material or even personal.

In general, people with antisocial personality disorder make no distinction between right and wrong, feel no remorse for their bad attitudes, and disregard the rights, desires, and feelings of others. For this reason, experts are divided as to whether the disorder would be the same as psychopathy.

Tommy has all these symptoms, which makes us claim that he has this disorder.
