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.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

B. Kohlberg's theory is a justice pennective while Gilligan's theory is a care perspect

Explanation:

Carol Gilligan assumes that the care perspective takes basic importance on attachment and compassion. Lawrence Kohlberg proposes that men more frequently attain, the upper levels of moral development than women.

Kohlberg formulated three levels of moral maturity. At the start up level, children basically take right and wrong in relation to the authority personalities th at define this situation or based on reward or punishment. The next level is observed in adolescents who relies on right and wrong on loyalties. The final level is attained when a person depends on universal and abstract ethical principles as in principles of justice or equality.

Gilligan's studies reveals that women are mostly concerned than men with keeping good relationships with family and friends, and reducing hurt to those that they values. Men do often consider moral issues from the perspective of impartial and impersonal principles.

Kohlberg's theory states that the justice perspective is supported by males. Gilligan's proposes the care perspective is majorly supported by females.

The care perspective employs a "morality of nonviolence" that "supports a general denial of exploitation and hurt." This two different perspective shed more light why men are ready to put their lives in line in battles for patriotic duty and while women are set to put their lives in line to nuture the lives of their children.
