President Lincoln faced several military challenges during the Civil War. The first challenge he faced keeping Washington, D.C. in the Union. Since Virginia had seceded, he needed Maryland to remain in the Union. If Maryland had seceded from the Union, Washington, D.C. would have been in the Confederacy. He arrested all the lawmakers in Maryland who supported Maryland seceding from the Union. Thus, Maryland remained in the Union.

President Lincoln had a difficult time finding good military leaders to lead the Union army. Most of the military schools were in the South. Many generals chose to fight for their home state. Thus, the South had better generals than the North had during the Civil War.

President Lincoln had to deal with his generals who were very cautious. General McClellan was very hesitant to move his army. After the South retreated at Antietam, General McClellan didn’t pursue the Confederate army. An opportunity was lost to possibly defeat the South at this point in time. Eventually, President Lincoln replaced General McClellan.

In order for the Union to win the war, the Union was going to have to invade the South and defeat them in battles that would occur in the South. The southern generals and soldiers knew the land in the South better than the Union generals and soldiers did. This gave the South an advantage. Additionally, while the South only had to fight a defensive war, President Lincoln didn’t have this luxury. The Union had to defeat the South in battles that would take place in the South.

President Lincoln faced several military challenges during the Civil War.

Art [367]

The correct answer is - something that causes people to leave their country.

A push factor is a wide term, in the sense of what can it be, so a push factor for the people to move away from their country can be safety issues, military action, economic reasons, political reasons etc. All of these factors can ''push'' a person to leave its own country, migrate to another place, and try to start fresh in the new more promising environment.

Examples:

- Push factor for the Syrians in the past few years is the waging war in their country.

- Push factor for the Balkan people to migrate to Western Europe are the economic reasons.

- Push factor from the people of North Korea to try and fled to South Korea or China is the dictatorship in the country.
