Answer:

During the Battle of Gettysburg, Longstreet pleaded to separate from the enemy line after the first day of battle, in order to effect a strategic flank movement that would position them in the communications line of the Union army, forcing them to attack. Longstreet later said that Lee had agreed before the campaign that this "offensive strategy, defensive tactics" would be a good course of action. Subsequently, however, Lee decided on offensive tactics, fearing perhaps that a move like the one proposed by Longstreet could result in a great loss of morale among the troops. On July 2, the second day of the battle, Longstreet's assault on the federal left was almost successful, but at great cost. On July 3, when Lee ordered Longstreet, against his wishes, to attack the Union center in what is known as "Pickett's charge", the Confederates lost 7,000 men in one hour. Lee blamed himself for the defeat at Gettysburg, but some, like General Jubal Early, insisted that Longstreet's reluctance to follow Lee's plans with enthusiasm was the cause of the defeat.

Ancient Egypt essay. Put a lot of information below about ancient Egypt.
Semenov [28]
For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt’s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.


Predynastic Period (c. 5000-3100 B.C.)
Few written records or artifacts have been found from the Predynastic Period, which encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization.

Neolithic (late Stone Age) communities in northeastern Africa exchanged hunting for agriculture and made early advances that paved the way for the later development of Egyptian arts and crafts, technology, politics and religion (including a great reverence for the dead and possibly a belief in life after death).
Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established near the Fertile Crescent, an area home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations: the Red Land to the north, based in the Nile River Delta and extending along the Nile perhaps to Atfih; and the White Land in the south, stretching from Atfih to Gebel es-Silsila. A southern king, Scorpion, made the first attempts to conquer the northern kingdom around 3200 B.C. A century later, King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.

In the Archaic Period, as in all other periods, most ancient Egyptians were farmers living in small villages, and agriculture (largely wheat and barley) formed the economic base of the Egyptian state. The annual flooding of the great Nile River provided the necessary irrigation and fertilization each year; farmers sowed the wheat after the flooding receded and harvested it before the season of high temperatures and drought returned.

Know what a polar molecule is and why water is a polar
laila [671]

Water is a polar molecule and also acts as a polar solvent. When a chemical species is said to be "polar," this means that the positive and negative electrical charges are unevenly distributed. The positive charge comes from the atomic nucleus, while the electrons supply the negative charge.
