On April 1, 1865, Major General Philip Sheridan's cavalry overflowed Lee's flank at the Battle of Five Forks. The next day, Grant's army made a decisive breakthrough marking the end of the siege of Petersburg. Lee left Petersburg and Richmond and went west towards Appomattox Station, where a train loaded with provisions awaited him. From there, he hoped to move south to join General Joseph E. Johnston's army in North Carolina. On April 8, 1865, Union cavalry commanded by Brigadier-General George Armstrong Custer captured and burned three supply trains awaiting Lee's army at the Battle of Appomattox Station. From then on, the Potomac Army and the James Army converged on Appomattox. The signing of the surrender documents occurred in the living room of the house owned by Wilmer McLean on the afternoon of April 9th. On April 12, 1865, a formal ceremony marked the dismemberment of the Northern Virginia Army and the parole of its leaders and men, effectively ending the American Civil War.

Which issue did the united states and the soviet union agree upon?
Neko [114]

The correct answer is a. the creation of Israel.

Since the end of 1944, Joseph Stalin adopted a pro-Zionist foreign policy believing that the new Jewish state would be socialist and, therefore, it would diminish the British influence in the Middle East. For that reason, in November 1947 the Soviet Union and the Soviet bloc voted in favor of the UN plan for the partition of Palestine, and it was the second country to recognize the state of Israel only after the United States.

Elena L [17]

Which of the following statements are true about the 1860 presidential election? Lincoln won with only 40 percent of the popular vote. Seward was beaten out by Lincoln in the election. A splintered Republican Party gave Lincoln the win. Lincoln won without being on many Southern ballots.

Answer:

1. Lincoln won with only 40 percent of the popular vote.

2.Lincoln won without being on many Southern ballots.

Explanation:

In this presidential election, the vote counts showed that the result was regional. Lincoln had won the northern states, but this was not the case in the southern states. Results showed lincoln had only 40% of the national votes.

In the states that lay between north and south, Bell won in these, while Douglas, even with the second largest votes, only won in Missouri.

In the electoral college, Lincoln had 180 electors, he had the largest number of electors. So he was elected president of the United States
