<u>Robert E. Lee led the Confederate army to Maryland after shuffling all the possibilities he had because it was the last real option</u>, and his plans were approved by President Davis. And although before the military strategy of the Confederation had been strictly to defend the borders and the territory of the Confederation, it was a good time for a change, in which there were great risks, but also glorious possibilities.

<u><em>In September of 1862</em></u>, <u>Lee actually wanted to try and to inspire a pro-confederate uprising</u>, and he launched what would be a surprise invasion in Maryland. But when a misplaced dispatch describing the details of the plan fell into the hands of the Union, what resulted was the bloodiest day of the war at the Battle of Antietam. Technically, the two armies fought to a draw, but Lee retreated under cover of darkness to Virginia.

Overall how did the United States change from the Election of 1800 through Thomas jefferson’s first term of President. (answer i
Sav [38]

The election of 1800 was fiercely contested and facilitated the rise of the two-party system and bitter partisanship.

Upon entering office, Jefferson focused on reducing the national debt he had inherited from his predecessors. His administration lowered excise taxes while slashing government spending. Additionally, the Jefferson administration reduced the size of the Navy, ultimately bringing the national debt down from $83 to $57 million. Foreign developments, however, including the intensification of piracy along the Barbary Coast, would necessitate the rebuilding of the Navy and its establishment as a permanent part of the US government.

Jefferson dealt with two major challenges to US authority: piracy along the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and British impressment, which resulted in Jefferson instating a mass embargo of European goods, the Embargo Act of 1807.

Jefferson authorized the Louisiana Purchase, which effectively doubled the territory of the United States.

Answer:

Bunker Hill and Trenton

Explanation:

The Battle Of Bunker Hill (also called Battle of Breed’s Hill) was also another loss to the colonies, The battle started on June 17, 1775, William Prescott was the general at the time and he was the commander against the attack and sent 1,200 troops this time. Even with a lot of troops this time, they only lost because they ran out of ammunition to supply the miltia at the 3rd wave of the battle. The British also suffered extensively loss, but not this time to the colonists.

The Battle of Trenton took place in Trenton, New Jesery in December 26, 1776. General George Washington was planning a attack on a fort, crossing the famous Delaware River. This was important because this was one of the very few battles at the time that was won by the colonists.
