The War did not occur directly on U.S. soil and the Americans played a relatively small role in the war, serving more as support for other nation's battles.
Answer:
Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse after Lee recognized the futility of continued fighting.
Explanation:
The Battle of Appomattox Court House was fought on April 9, 1865, between Union Army forces commanded by general Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate forces led by general Robert E. Lee.
Lee abandoned Richmond, Virginia (the Confederate capital) and moved west, hoping to regroup with other remanining Confederate units in North Carolina. However, Union forces pursued the Lee army and engaged it at Appomattox Court House. Lee charged the Union lines but, as he broke their line, he saw that further Union forces vastly outnumbering the Confederate army were advancing to join the battle. <u>Upon realizing the futility of his situation</u>, general Lee famously declared: "There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths".
Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant that same day, which eventually led to a domino effect with other Confederate armies surrendering shortly after. The Civil War formally ended on May 9, 1865.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Former President Theodore Roosevelt's decision to participate influenced the election and the Progressive Party in that another serious contender participated in the disputed election of 1912. US citizens had a pull of four candidates that polarized the election in which the winner was Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson.
Elected candidate Woodrow Wilson ended up with 435 electoral votes and 6,293,454 popular votes. Former US President Theodore Roosevelt finished in second place with 88 electoral votes and 4,119,207 popular votes.
One reason for this result was the fact that the Republicans faced a serious internal division in the party when Republicans decided that William Taft was going to be its candidate. That is why Roosevelt decided to compete for the Progressive party, taking with him many members and votes that formerly belonged to the Republican party.
