Answer: I did this last year just have my paper man! :)

Explanation:

The American Civil War (also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States from 1861 to 1865, fought between northern states loyal to the Union and southern states that had seceded to form the Confederate States of America. The civil war began as a result of the unresolved controversy of the enslavement of black people and its disputed continuance. War broke out in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, just over a month after Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated as the president of the United States. The loyalists of the Union in the North, which also included some geographically western and southern states, proclaimed support for the Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, who advocated for states' rights to uphold slavery.

Of the 34 U.S. states in February 1861, seven Southern slave states were declared by their state governments to have seceded from the country, and the Confederate States of America was organized in rebellion against the U.S. constitutional government. The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional states of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from native secessionists fleeing Union authority. These states were given full representation in the Confederate Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining slave states, Delaware and Maryland, were invited to join the Confederacy, but nothing substantial developed due to intervention by federal troops.

The Confederate states were never diplomatically recognized as a joint entity by the government of the United States, nor by that of any foreign country.[f] The states that remained loyal to the U.S. were known as the Union.[g] The Union and the Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South for four years. Intense combat left between 620,000 and 750,000 soldiers dead, along with an undetermined number of civilians. The Civil War remains the deadliest military conflict in American history, and accounted for more American military deaths than all other wars combined until the Vietnam War.

The war effectively ended on April 9, 1865, when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. Confederate generals throughout the Southern states followed suit, the last surrender on land occurring June 23. Much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved Black people were freed. The war-torn nation then entered the Reconstruction era in a partially successful attempt to rebuild the country and grant civil rights to freed slaves.

The Civil War is one of the most studied and written about episodes in U.S. history, and remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate. Of particular interest are the causes of the Civil War and the persisting myth of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy. The American Civil War was among the earliest industrial wars. Railroads, the telegraph, steamships and iron-clad ships, and mass-produced weapons were employed extensively. The mobilization of civilian factories, mines, shipyards, banks, transportation, and food supplies all foreshadowed the impact of industrialization in World War I, World War II, and subsequent conflicts.

Explain how the rise of the new "intelligentsia" in Russia led to the rise of communism and the role that Vladimir Lenin played
Brut [27]

Answer:

The intelligentsia is referred a status class of educated people engaged in the complex-structured mental labours that critique, guide, direct and lead in forming the cultural and political aspects of their society until 1917.

Explanation:

The intelligentsia is referred a status class of educated people engaged in the complex-structured mental labours that critique, guide, direct and lead in forming the cultural and political aspects of their society. The intelligentsia comprises of artists, teachers and academics, writers, and the literary folks. The intellectuals are the individual members of the intelligentsia.

The intelligentsia status class were prominent in the late 18th century, in Russian-controlled Poland, during the period of Partitions (1772–95). In the 19th century, the Polish intellectual, Bronisław Trentowski, derived the word intelligentcja (intellectuals) to identify and describe the educated and professionally active social stratum. They were assumed political leadership before Bolshevik revolution.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov mostly known by his alias Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of Soviet Russia between 1917 and 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Having come to power in October 1917 by means of a coup d'état, Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks spent the next few years trying to maintain their rule against widespread popular opposition. They had overthrown the provisional democratic government and were someehatsomewhat hostile to any form of popular participation in politics. In the name of the revolutionary cause, they employed ruthless methods to suppress and overcome real or perceived political enemies. The small, elite group of Bolshevik revolutionaries which formed the core of the newly established Communist Party dictatorship ruled by decree, enforced with terror.

Under his administration, Russia and then the wider Soviet Union became a one-party communist state ruled by the Russian Communist Party. Ideologically a communist, he developed a variant of Marxism known as Leninism.
