Answer:

The answer to the question: Why were Sherman´s troops so excited about entering South Carolina during the Civil War, is, that taking over South Carolina , especially Columbia, meant taking over the very symbol of the rebellion, as South Carolina was the first state to secede and it was where the first shot of the war was shot against a Federal garrison, in 1861.

Explanation:

During the Civil War, one of the ideals of the Union generals, especially William Tecumseh Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant and President Abraham Lincoln, was to cut the conflict short, and to do so, they decided to swipe the south and cause trouble for civilians, to press the Confederates into giving in. This is the reason why the men of Sherman decide to sweep through Georgia, and especially South Carolina, causing as much trouble to civilians as possible. When the Union army finally reaches Columbia, Sherman and his men are really joyous as Columbia, and the whole of South Carolina, are the very symbol of the rebellion, and the place where the first shot of the war was fired.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

   1368: The Ming Dynasty began with a rebellion, which defeated the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368).

   1402–1424: Emperor Yongle ushered in a period of prosperity, including trade with Europeans. This continued until the late 1500s, when it was forbidden due to armed smugglers and Japanese pirates.

   1420: The Ming capital was moved to Beijing after the Forbidden City was completed. Before that, the capital was Nanjing.

   Traditional culture flourished during the Ming Dynasty. Three of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature were written.

   The Great Wall was more crucial than ever in protecting China from northern invasion during the Ming era.

   1644: The dynasty ended when peasant rebellion from the south led to the Great Wall gates being opened to the Manchurians, who initiated the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912).

Which president do you think was better Thomas Jefferson or Monroe doctrine and why?? How come? Pls answer full words and make i
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

They were both great presidents, but I'm going to side with James Monroe. President James Monroe had the best foreign policy for the United States in the early 1800s. A policy called the Monroe Doctrine was issued by President James Monroe in favor of the new Latin American states, which warned European nations to honor the independence of the former colonies of Spain. The Monroe Doctrine created a strong nation in the United States, able to stand up for its own rights and that of its neighbors. Monroe’s policy showed how strong and independent the U.S was, but it also supported others who were seeking independence. The Era of Good Feelings was a name for President Monroe's two terms, a period of strong nationalism, economic growth, and territorial expansion. Since the Federalist party dissolved after the War of 1812, there was only one political party and no partisan conflicts.
