Answer: Further fighting could not accomplish anything useful and losses would be heavy

Explanation:  General Robert Edward Lee, had only hungry and ragged men. Trapped in the vicinity of Richmond by the forces of Generals Grant and Sheridan, he tries one last card to escape Appomatox. His men manage to penetrate and cross a first line of the enemy cavalry troop, but are surrounded by infantry regiments, camouflaged in the vicinity.

For over a week, Lee had tried to escape Grant west to Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia. After a ten-month siege of both cities, Union forces broke through the defenses, forcing Lee to retreat. The Confederates moved along the Appomattox River, south, with General Phillip Sheridan following them closely. Lee's army had little food and soldiers began to desert in large numbers. When Lee reached Appomattox, he realized that his path was blocked. He had no alternative but to propose to meet Grant.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Laura's comparison between <u>their level of contribution in the relationship is very high and seems like she is not gaining in the relationship.</u>

Explanation:

In every relationship, like it is always said, can only work if there is a mutual benefits which the two people engaged in it gained from each other. This has been an established pathway and tends to encourage a long lasting relationship.

<em>For Laura to feel that she s not gaining anything from the relationship (as a result of Maisie not being there for her in her moment of lowliness and rough day) when compared to her help which she renders to Maisie shows that her comparison is very high in such situation. This would definitely put a strain on the frienship between both of them.</em>

mamaluj [8]

They are ethical issues.  This means creating a system that would identify right or wrong.  Today there are many opinions that are very divisive on several issues such as abortion, aids, capital punishment, etc.  Making the right decision requires intensely crafting laws or policies that would satisfy these dissenting voices.
