Mainly to attempt, as a last sort of push to try win battles or wars. However, often they sent troops even if they would die to provide a resistant front, to give soldiers behind the line more time for recover and prepare. Hope this helps!

How did Spain play a part in the settlement of Mississippi?
galben [10]

Answer:

to be honste i have been writting for the past two hours so ya there u go

Explanation:

The first Europeans who entered the area now known as Mississippi were from Spain. (See Spanish Exploration) Hernando de Soto is believed to have led his expedition westward across northern Mississippi in late 1540. During the Pontotoc Battle of 1541, many of de Soto's expedition were killed due to an attack from the Chickasaws. As a result of his trek through the wilderness the Native Americans who populated the area were devestated with disease, causing their population to drop drasticaly in the years after the Spainards visit.

In 1564 the King of Spain heard that French colonists in search of freedom of religion had started a settlement Fort Caroline in that part of Spain's territory in the New World known today as our state of Florida. This was felt as a direct threat to Spain as they claimed all of North America (although at this time they didn't know how huge the continent was) as theirs. The Spanish king lost no time in sending Pedro Menendez and his band of soldiers to wipe out the tiny French colony. The only protection the French had was a small fort which they had built on the St. Johns River in Florida. It took no time for the Spanish warriors to wipe out the small colony and only a few of the French excaped by sea. The small French colony of Fort Caroline only lasted about a year. (It should be noted that this was perhaps the beginning of the fight between Spain, France, and Great Britain over the "ownership" of the area that would form the Mississippi Territory. Shortly after the annilhation of Fort Caroline, Mendez and his Spaniards built the Fort of St. Augustine (1565). However, the French effort to enjoy freedom of belief in the New World made a great impression on both Catholics and Protestants who were being persecuted for their beliefs and immigration to the New World thrived.

A period of approximately 130 years (from De Soto's trek) went by with no further exploration of the inland frontier in what is now the Deep South. In 1673 Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, French explorers traveled down the Mississippi River to the mouth of the Arkansas River. They were followed nine years later by another French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle, who also traveled down the Mississippi and claimed all the land drained by the river and its tributaries for France. La Salle named that vast region Louisiane (in English translated to Louisiana) in honor of his king, Louis IV. The Mississippi River played an important part in the settlement of this wilderness area. hope this helps

Robert E. Lee brought his Confederate forces into the North just before the battle of Gettysburg in hopes of
kolezko [41]
C and D. When Union General Ulysses S. Grant laid siege to Vicksburg, Lee suggested a second invasion of the North.  He would demoralize the North with a victory on northern soil that would support the copperheads who wanted peace.  After winning the Battle of Chancellorsville a victory on northern soil would  also relieve pressure of the siege as well allow the army to supply themselves with food and other items they lacked like shoes. However, he was met with fierce resistance from a Union Army led by General George Meade and a battle erupted at Gettysburg that lasted three days.  It ended with Pickett’s Charge resulting in a Union victory.  It marked the turning of the war as the Union gained the upper hand and eventually won the Civil War.

List four reasons why you wouldn’t want to be a Roman prisoner. What would be your fate?
Anastasy [175]
1. The conditions were terrible. They would be living in cells with ten other people and wouldn't even have bathrooms or anything similar or would barely even have food and they would sit down in chains and get beaten by soldiers or would easily get killed or would spread diseases due to the lack of hygiene or even worse.

2. You would often get mutilated. According to many Roman laws, you would often have to pay the price in flesh fort things that you do. For example, if you're a thief or similar you could get your hand cut off or you could get your eyes poked out or similar things. This also included torture which could even result in death.

3. You could become a gladiator. Gladiators were forced to fight other people for the entertainment of people and politicians in giant arenas. You would win or you would die, and even if you won you could get killed for not being entertaining enough. Sometimes you would have to fight wild and starving animals such as lions or tigers.

4. Any type of insurrection would result in your death. If you even tried to appeal or have the sentence changed or removed or anything similar you could get killed as punishment or severely beaten and mauled. If you tried to get other prisoners to fight together for better conditions you would all get killed.
