Why did the north and south begin to use conscription early in the war

History

GalinKa [24]3 years ago
4 0

The north and south began o use conscription early in the war to ensure that they had enough people in their army fighting in the warfront.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The conscription act passed by the US congress during the civil war demanded that all citizens between the age of 20 and 45 have to join the military to serve in the war. The conscription also mentioned aliens who required the citizenship of US. In order to be exempted from the military service people had to pay $300 which was a high sum at that time.

This meant that only the rich could afford exemption and this led to revolts in many parts of US. The Draft Riots of New York is an example. The confederate states government also passed the conscription draft to enhance the strength of their military force.

What does Henry mean, exactly, when he says that the colonists “have no election”?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer- Henry seeks to engage his audience by showing his respect for them. He recognizes and compliments the patriotism and abilities of the other members of the Convention in his first sentence (note that Henry continues to address the body as the House). He prepares his audience by expresses the hope that they will show him the same respect when he states in sentence 2, "I hope it will not be thought disrespectful..."

What is trench warfare, and why was so much of World War I dominated by this method of fighting? Consider such elements as techn
erica [24]

Answer:

A trench war or position war is a war in which both parties have buried themselves opposite each other in trenches and other fortified positions, with the aim of stopping the advance of the enemy, which has resulted in a stalemate in which neither party succeeds through the enemy lines to break. In fact, a trench war is a situation where both sides besiege each other. Normally in the case of a siege there is an attacking party besieging the defending party, but in a trench war both parties are besiegers and besieged at the same time.

The best known trench war is the First World War (1914-1918), but wars such as the Civil War (1861-1865) and the Russian-Japanese War (1904-05) also exhibited characteristics of trench wars.

Nowadays trench wars only occur in the Third World, where the warring parties have modern firearms but hardly any vehicles such as tanks and planes. In the conflicts between Ethiopia and Eritrea at the end of the 20th century, trench wars were also waged.

in your own words, to explain the overall message that was intended in Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address
vivado [14]
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysbury Address is perhaps the most iconic and famous speeches in the history of the United States.
It the address took place just 4 and a half months after the end of the Civil War, at the time when the United States was struggling to find a national way forward.


The aim of the Address was to provide hope to the American people and give them a vision of a brighter future. It was addressed both at the Southerners and the people in the North.

A whole generation had seen war, death and misery and the future for many, was not so great.

The overall message of the address was to tell every American, that their right to life, liberty and freedom will be respected and that their country will keep on prospering.

The address wanted people to look at the end of the Civil War as an opportunity for a New America.
