Lewis Powell was born in Alabama in 1884. His father was a Baptist minister. He was the youngest of eight children. The family m

oved to Georgia when Lewis was just three years old. In Georgia all eight children were educated by their father, who then became the school master. When Lewis was a teenager the family moved to Florida.
During the Civil War, Lewis enlisted and served in the Confederate Army. In 1862 he was hospitalized for an unknown sickness. He continued to fight many battles unharmed prior to being injured in the wrist at the Battle of Gettysburg. In July of 1863 he was captured and sent to a Prisoner of War (POW) hospital. He escaped the hospital, and eventually traveled to Baltimore, Maryland, where he became involved with the Confederate Secret Service, the Confederacy's spy agency.

In April of 1865, Lewis met with John Wilkes Booth to conspire and plot the assassination of Lincoln and other Union leaders. Lewis was charged with the assassination of Secretary of State William H. Seward. Another friend of Lewis's was to assassinate Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Booth was responsible for assassinating President Lincoln himself.

Who was not consulted about the pertitioning of the Ottoman Empire
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The partition of the Ottoman Empire (Armistice of Mudros, 30 October 1918 – Abolition of the Ottoman Sultanate, 1 November 1922) was a political event that occurred after World War I and the occupation of Constantinople by British, French and Italian troops in November 1918. The partitioning was planned in several agreements made by the Allied Powers early in the course of World War I,[1] notably the Sykes-Picot Agreement. As world war loomed, the Ottoman Empire sought protection but was rejected by Britain, France, and Russia, and finally formed the Ottoman–German Alliance.[2] The huge conglomeration of territories and peoples that formerly comprised the Ottoman Empire was divided into several new states.[3] The Ottoman Empire had been the leading Islamic state in geopolitical, cultural and ideological terms. The partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after the war led to the rise in the Middle East of Western powers such as Britain and France and brought the creation of the modern Arab world and the Republic of Turkey. Resistance to the influence of these powers came from the Turkish national movement but did not become widespread in the post-Ottoman states until after World War II.

Why was dividing Lee's army such a gamble?
dlinn [17]

The correct answers are: 2) He had so few men compared to the Union forces; 4) The enemy outnumbered him many times over.

In The Battle of Chancellorsville (1861-1865), Lee's army of 60,000 men faced an Union Army that doubled them in size. Lee decided to divide his army even when that meant a higher risk in losing, given the difference in numbers between said armies. Lee's right hand, Jackson, died of pneumonia on the battlefield. Even with these many things happening to his army, Lee won the battle.
