Volgvan3 years ago

The capture of Vicksburg was significant to the Union because, as a result of this event, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana were isolated from the rest of the Confederation and the loss also meant for the Confederation the loss of livestock and agricultural resources of the first two. Additionally, the victory at Vicksburg and the victory at Gettysburg the day before marked the beginning of the end of the civil war, while Grant with his victory increased his fame, which later made him commander-in-chief of the Union troops during that fight.

many Americans perceived "Manifest Destiny" as benevolent, but why was it really an aggressive imperialistic move pursued at the
adell [148]
Manifest destiny was a concept that was devoid of any consideration for the lives, land and property of the people against which it was targeted. With time it came to acquire a most imperialistic bearing by embracing the proud and selfish reasoning that because America had been made great by its Anglo - Saxon heritage, this made America supremely fit and suited to extend its influence beyond its continental boundaries, that now it was the nation's manifest destiny to achieve this. Nowhere are the interests of other people mentioned.

STRUGGLES IN THE SOUTH (PAGES 160-169)
laiz [17]

Answer:

There were a couple of reasons for moving to the southern colonies. The first would be that they were loosing in the North and wanted to try and pierce the South to get ports and some ground to wage war.

They also believed that many slaves would embrace their liberation and join their cause against their former masters.

If they captured the South ports they could transport troops and equipment a lot quicker and easier from the British West Indies.

And they thought that there were more loyalists in the South and that would mean more domestic manpower for holding the lines.
