Answer:

The task of stopping Lee at Gettysburg was assigned to General George Gordon Meade.

Explanation:

Once General Robert E. Lee began his offensive against Pennsylvania on June 3, 1863, on June 28, 1863, after Major General John Reynolds refused to be called himself, Meade was appointed general of the army, just three days before the Battle of Gettysburg. At first, Meade thought of setting up a defensive line behind Pipe Creek, but accepted the recommendation from Winfield Scott Hancock that he would do better if he concentrated the troops at Gettysburg.In the face of Lee's bloody offensive in Gettysburg, he scattered his forces among the threatened federal lines, just in time to stop each of the Confederate Army chief's assaults.

damaskus [11]
What Thomas Paine may have meant by that is that government is necessary for social and political change. Based off of enlightenment ideas such as unalienable rights and revolutions in the america’s, People have the right to life, liberty, and property. This led to revolutions in Haiti inspired by what happened in the United states a couple years back and the French Revolution. This “necessary evil” could be representing how bad things need to happen in order to make humanity progress because without it, humanity would most likely never learn and not be as developed as it is now.

What was the overall tone of Lewis's speech? What parts of Lewis's speech were changed? Why?
Crazy boy [7]
The overall tone of Lewis' speech was angry and strong. For some, the speech sounded too belligerent. John Lewis changed parts of his speech at the request of Martin Luther King, Jr. Lewis said he could not say no to King because King was his hero, his inspiration.
The part where Lewis said they cannot wholeheartedly support the administration's civil rights bill for it is too little and too late was removed from his revised speech.
Lewis' original speech "We will march through the South, through the heart of Dixie, the way Sherman did" was changed to "we will march with the spirit of love and with the spirit of dignity that we have shown here today"
