History

<span>The Siege of Petersburg sapped Lee's strength and led directly both to the loss of the confederate capital of Richmond and to Lee's surrender at Appomattox a short time after abandoning his defensive position. Petersburg was the site of the railhead supplying Richmond, so Lee was forced to defend it or abandon his capital. The siege was a significant strategic success because whereas Grant had access to practically unlimited resupply of material and troops, Lee's position only became weaker as the battle dragged on.</span>

Petersburg is really crucial for the victory because it's the main point for the Confederate's supply line.
By winning the war of Petersburg, the union managed to cut off food and ammo supplies for other soldiers in another battlefront which eventually caused the Confederate army to start falling like dominos.

How did the Eichmann trial differ from the Nuremberg trials and what was the impact of the Eichmann trial?
julia-pushkina [17]

Eichmann trial was different in several ways. The public could, for the first time, watch coverage of the trial on television. The Eichmann trial brought the true scope of the Holocaust into public focus, filling the pages of newspapers with the stories of Holocaust survivors. While previous trials, including the Nuremberg Trials, had focused primarily on documentary evidence, the Eichmann trial called Holocaust survivors to the stand to share their personal experiences, with approximately 100 survivors taking the stand and testifying during the trial, which lasted from April 1960 until August 1961.

Persuading the 13 original states to support a new Constitution for the United States required a number of compromises. Explain
Luden [163]
I only know of two compromises, unless you are talking about the bill of rights. But the great compromise set a two house legislature, which is different from before because the states mostly had power. The three fifths compromise counted three fifths of the slaves as population. Except cool fact they weren’t called slaves they were called others. There was the free men and the others. It affected the country because it added onto the population. And the bill of rights was made to settle the conflict between the anti federalists and the federalists. The bill of rights was written by James Madison.
