Hello there!
The battle of Locust Grove was a small battle, compared to other battles during the American Civil War. This battle took place on Native American land, due to the fact that they didn't really claim the land yet.
The outcome of the battle of Locust Grove was that the <u>Union won the war</u>. The reason why they won this war is because the Union made a surprise attack against the Confederates, the confederates during the time of the surprise attack were actually split up, so when the attack happened, they would have no time to come together to fight because they were all split up during the fight; giving the Union an advantage during the fight. This attack pretty much applies to the term "It's better to fight in larger groups." The confederates had a hard time during this attack because they were outnumbered by multiple Unions. For example, a confederate could be by themselves while 3 Union members comes and ambush them, and of course the Union would win that small fight because they had more man power, and this pretty much happened during the surprise attack. After the Union beat the confederates, they pretty much took all of their supplies.
<span>John Crittenden tried to find a way for the two sides to compromise just before the Civil War broke out. The compromise would have prohibited slavery from any new territories north of the 36° 30′ parallel (the southern border of Missouri), and guaranteed it in any states formed south of it. In addition, it would have made the Fugitive Slave Act permanent and executable in all the new states and territories.</span>
He was a general serving in many battles
On this day in 1775, George Washington, who would one day become the first American president, accepts an assignment to lead the Continental Army.
Washington had been managing his family’s plantation and serving in the Virginia House of Burgesses when the second Continental Congress unanimously voted to have him lead the revolutionary army. He had earlier distinguished himself, in the eyes of his contemporaries, as a commander for the British army in the French and Indian War of 1754.
Born a British citizen and a former Redcoat, Washington had, by the 1770s, joined the growing ranks of colonists who were dismayed by what they considered to be Britain’s exploitative policies in North America. In 1774, Washington joined the Continental Congress as a delegate from Virginia. The next year, the Congress offered Washington the role of commander in chief of the Continental Army.
After accepting the position, Washington sat down and wrote a letter to his wife, Martha, in which he revealed his concerns about his new role. He admitted to his “dear Patcy” that he had not sought the post but felt “it was utterly out of my power to refuse this appointment without exposing my Character to such censures as would have reflected dishonour upon myself, and given pain to my friends.” He expressed uneasiness at leaving her alone, told her he had updated his will and hoped that he would be home by the fall. He closed the letter with a postscript, saying he had found some of “the prettiest muslin” but did not indicate whether it was intended for her or for himself.
On July 3, 1775, Washington officially took command of the poorly trained and under-supplied Continental Army. After six years of struggle and despite frequent setbacks, Washington managed to lead the army to key victories and Great Britain eventually surrendered in 1781. Due largely to his military fame and humble personality, Americans overwhelmingly elected Washington their first president in 1789.
