Answer:

Grant and Sherman used the strategy of total war to shorten the war in their favor, using the many deaths of enemies to save lives on their side. We may never know if more would've died if they didn't use the tactic, but in my opinion civilian lives were not theirs to take. Soldiers agreed to die, but civilians didn't, making total war, in my opinion, not right. Others may say that their lives were a necessary sacrifice towards a common goal, but, in my opinion, if one side uses total war, can't the other side use it too for a horrible end? Form your own opinion, but that is mine.

Answer:

Generals Grant and Sherman saw the Confederancy as an oppoent to be totally defeated if they wanted to stop the war once and for all.

Explanation:

American Civil war was a harsh confict for both parties. From the side of the Union, general Grant and Sherman were radicals with their intention of finishing the war. This is why they promoted a total war strategy to destroy the Confederacy backbone devastating cities. It was an effective strategy to weaken the Confederacy with the side effect of the death of civilans. For those two generals, it was worth it to end the war.

<span>Cloture is rarely invoked in the Senate because it is difficult to achieve the required three-fifths vote (60/100), because the cloture would be increasingly invoked and would lose its power, and because it curtails the democratic process.

Gerrymandering is a way of drawing legislative distribution in order to give one party more seats in proportion to the share of votes that the candidates have. A bipartisan committee is the best solution to the problem of gerrymandering because if it was solved by the party in power when they next lost power, the other party would reverse their action.
