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.

How did European imperialism lead many colonies to seek independence?
gladu [14]

European imperialism exploitation was the main reason why several colonies agitated for independence. This exploitation was in the form of land alienation,forced labor and military conscription.

The three factors served to unite people of different ethnic boundaries into their respective polity. Military conscription for example fueled feelings of nationalism as returning soldiers joined forces with existing nationalists to aggravate the agitation for independence.
