The southerner that commanded Union ships during the capture of the Mississippi River was David Farragut.

In December of 1861 Farragut was assigned to command the blockade squadron of the Union to the west of the Gulf of Mexico; with orders to enter the Mississippi River and capture New Orleans, a port through which the Confederacy received much of its war supplies.

Although the Department of War had recommended that he should first reduce the two forts that protected the access to the river, Farragut successfully carried out his own plan to pass between the enemy batteries taking advantage of the darkness on April 24, 1862, with his ship "Hartford". His naval force, once it had penetrated, destroyed most of the Confederate squadron that was anchored behind the forts. The troops of the Union could then disembark under the protection of Farragut's ships, thus achieving the surrender of New Orleans.

If you were a colonist, do you think you would have boycotted the British taxes or would you have paid them to prevent an issues

Alinara [238K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

If you were a colonist, I definitively had boycotted the British taxes. I would have considered myself as a Patriot, not a Loyalist.

Let's remember that Patriots were the American colonists that supported the independence of the 13 colonies from the British crown. Loyalists were colonists that supported the British rule and were loyal to the king f England.

I would have joined the many colonists that were infuriated by the heavy taxation imposed by the English government. Taxation such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, or the Tea Act.

And my major claim would have been that I had to pay those injust taxes but we did not have a voice or representation in the British Parliament.

how does the world war 1 not live up to the expectations of those who entered the war in regards to style/length/honor

AysviL [449]

The First World War was an armed conflict that, when compared to the Second World War, is considered by some to be a less striking conflict. Nevertheless, it is an important event in history because it caused many changes.

<h3>What was the first world war?</h3>

World War I was a European war conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918, when Germany accepted the terms of the armistice.

In this war the main European powers of the moment faced each other, on the one hand there was the Triple Alliance that was made up of: the German Empire and Austria-Hungary.

On the other hand was the Triple Entente, formed by the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire. Also, later, the Empire of Japan and the United States joined the Triple Entente, while the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria joined the Central Powers.

<h3>Why this war does not live up to the expectations of some?</h3>

This war can be considered by many people as a minor war because although at the time it was the largest war conflict in history, World War II greatly surpassed everything that happened in the First World War.

On the other hand, in time it was shorter since it only lasted four years, while the second world war lasted six years.
