The first statement is correct.

The Siege of Vicksburg by the Union army lead to the inability of Confederate soldiers to receive supplies. This is because the Union army takes control of the Mississippi River. This river was used to transport soldiers,materials, and goods for the Confederate soldiers. Maintaining control of this part of the river near Vicksburg lead to the Confederate troops being split in half. This leads to their eventual surrender.

Why would someone argue that the Electoral College system should remain the same

elixir [45]

The Electoral College should remain the same for various reasons. First, if it were not for the Electoral College, large states, such as California, would largely control the nation. The Electoral College is designed to maximize states' rights. For example, if the U.S. were a direct democracy, Hillary Clinton would have been elected as our president, even though approximately 90% states supported Trump. With the Electoral College, each state has 2-3 Electors for each Political Party. If the majority of the state votes for Hillary, the democratic electors for that specific state get the vote. If the majority of the state votes for Trump, the Republican electors get the vote. The system is designed to maximize sates' rights and avoid impulsive, mass decisions.
